Players face pressure at Wyndham Championship for FedEx Cup playoff spots

Summary

The Wyndham Championship, taking place this week in Greensboro, NC, is the last chance for players to secure a spot in the 2026 FedEx Cup Playoffs. As only 70 out of 125 players will qualify for the playoffs, many competitors, including Denny McCarthy at No. 84, are under pressure to perform. Australian Jason Day and Keegan Bradley also seek to maintain their playoff streaks, while rookie Jackson Koivun, who recently won the 3M Open, currently holds the final playoff position. Players must finish in key spots to advance, escalating the stakes as the regular season concludes.
