FedEx Cup Playoffs bubble breakdown: Brooks Koepka in trouble

We've reached the final week of the PGA Tour regular season, meaning players on the FedEx Cup bubble have only one more chance to crack the playoff field. 

After the Wyndham Championship, the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings will advance to the postseason and secure their PGA Tour cards for 2027. 

Surprisingly, some big names are lingering around the bubble heading into the regular-season finale. Major champions Brooks Koepka, Keegan Bradley and Jason Day are among the players on the outside looking in. They'll need a strong week at the Wyndham Championship to keep their season alive. 

Here's a look at the FedEx Cup bubble entering the Wyndham Championship:

65. Aldrich Potgieter
66. Ricky Castillo

73. Andrew Putnam
74. Johnny Keefer
75. Jason Day

FedEx Cup bubble: Brooks Koepka in trouble

With just one more week in the regular season, let's check in on some bigger names and see what they need to do at the Wyndham Championship to make the playoffs.

Jackson Koivun (70): It's impressive that Koivun is even in this position considering he's only played in four PGA Tour events this season, but that's what happens when one of those was a victory. The rising superstar will be in good shape if he makes the cut this week. 

Keegan Bradley (72): Bradley has made the FedEx Cup Playoffs every year since his PGA Tour debut in 2011, but he's in danger of missing out in 2026. The U.S. Ryder Cup captain needs to finish in a two-way tie for 38th or better at Sedgefield Country Club to crack the playoff field. 

Jason Day (75): After finishing runner-up at The American Express in his 2026 debut, Day recorded only two top-20 finishes in his next 14 starts. He'll need to finish in a two-way tie for 12th or better to make the postseason. 

Brooks Koepka (86): Koepka isn't the same player he was a few years ago, but it didn't help that he wasn't given access to Signature Events in his return to the PGA Tour. The five-time major champion will need a solo fourth or better at the Wyndham Championship to move inside the top 70.

Tony Finau (89): Finau has six missed cuts and only one top-10 finish in 21 starts this season. The veteran will miss out on the playoffs for the first time in his career unless he records a two-way tie for third or better this week.
