- Wyndham Championship is the PGA Tour's 34th and final regular-season event, with only the top 70 in FedExCup points advancing to next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship
- Jason Day sits No. 75 in points and needs no worse than a two-way tie for 12th to extend his active-record 18 straight playoff appearances, while fellow Aussie at No. 60 Shane Lowry is the only player between Nos. 60 and 80 skipping the event
- Keegan Bradley (No. 72) is on the outside with four missed cuts and zero top-10s this season; a top-30 finish (+340) would push him into the top 70 and extend his 15-year playoff streak
- Cameron Young is the +820 favorite — his shortest ever — after tying the tournament scoring record at 22-under 258 last year for his first Tour win, and he now ranks No. 3 in the world
- Brooks Koepka (No. 86, needs solo fourth or better) and Tony Finau (No. 89, needs two-way tie for third) are deep in danger; Finau hasn't missed the playoffs since earning his Tour card in 2014
- Rookie Jackson Koivun, 21, holds the 70th and final qualifying spot two weeks after winning the 3M Open, and would become just the ninth-youngest player to make a first playoff appearance
Why it matters: The FedExCup playoff cutoff turns the Wyndham into a high-stakes survival event: Jason Day's 18-year streak and Keegan Bradley's 15-year streak are both at risk, while a poor week from Brooks Koepka (No. 86) or Tony Finau (No. 89) would cost them season-long earnings and Tour status. Only a win or near-win moves players ranked 86th or worse into the top 70.
