With only one tournament remaining in the PGA Tour regular season, players have one last shot to punch their ticket to the FedExCup Playoffs.

The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings after the Wyndham Championship will secure a spot in the postseason and lock up full-time status for 2026.

This is a critical week for everyone on the bubble of the FedExCup Playoffs.

Breaking down the FedExCup Playoffs bubble

Finishing inside the top 70 in the FedExCup standings is something every PGA Tour pro marks as a primary goal before the season. If you make the FedExCup Playoffs, you become fully exempt on the PGA Tour for the following season and secure a spot in the Players Championship field.

Those who finish outside the top 70 must keep playing through the FedExCup Fall and finish in the top 100 to retain their PGA Tour cards. That's why the Wyndham Championship is such an important week for so many players.

Heading into the final event of the regular season, here are the players who are currently safe but need a solid week to make the playoffs:

60. Tony Finau (681 FedEx Cup points)
61. Rickie Fowler (656)
62. Davis Riley (652)
63. Kevin Yu (645)
64. Erik van Rooyen (634)
65. Nico Echavarria (628)
66. Emiliano Grillo (628)
67. Cam Davis (616)
68. Patrick Rodgers (616)
69. Byeong Hun An (595)
70. Matti Schmid (595)

Here are the players on the outside looking in:

71. Nicolai Hojgaard (590)
72. Keith Mitchell (589)
73. Chris Kirk (582)
74. Christiaan Bezuidenhout (575)
75. Gary Woodland (562)

77. Alex Smalley (554)
78. Davis Thompson (552)
79. Eric Cole (546)
