It’s Sunday at the 2025 Wyndham Championship and after the final 18 holes, we not only know who is hoisting the trophy but we also learned who made the top 70 for the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoff.
That’s down from the top 100 of a year ago, so the pressure was ratcheted up just that much more on this Sunday.
Check out this tracker below for the latest on the FedEx Cup Playoffs chase.
At the conclusion of the 2025 Wyndham Championship, the field of the top 70 players was finalized for the first tournament in the FedEx Cup Playoffs.
You can see the complete list here. These are the last 10 in and the first 10 out:
With only the top 70 making the playoffs, only the top 50 after the first event advance.
Guys near the top 50 threshold as of Sunday night:
No. 48 Jordan Spieth
No. 49 Wyndham Clark
No. 50 Min Woo Lee
No. 51 J.T. Poston
No. 52 Kurt Kitayama
No. 53 Bud Cauley
So the top 50 advance to the BMW, but then only the top 30 advance to the Tour Championship.
Guys near the top 30 threshold as of Sunday night:
No. 28 Sam Stevens
No. 29 Sungjae Im
No. 30 Daniel Berger\
No. 31 Ryan Gerard
No. 32 Ryan Fox
No. 33 Jacob Bridgeman
Thompson, who already drained a 91-footer for birdie on Sunday, had another long putt (46 feet to be exact) on the 18th hole, needing two putts for par, which would secure him a top-70 spot. The projections had a bogey on 18 dropping him to the 71st spot. His birdie putt was strong, though, too strong, in fact, and went six feet past the hole. That left him a knee-knocker for par and a playoff spot.
And he would miss. Thompson pushed his par putt left and had to take a bogey. The projections then dropped him to No. 71. He started the day in 78th but a closing bogey will be the end of his season.
“Putted terrible today,” Thompson said after his round. “Made that long putt on 15. That’s about it. It’s really disappointing.”
With about an hour left, here’s who’s hovering around No. 70
After following up his birdie on No. 15 with a bogey on No. 16, he bounced back with another birdie on No. 17. That has him back at 10 under but still on the outside looking in with a hole to go.
Thompson, with time running out, stared down the cup from 91 feet away on the par-5 15th hole. It was a birdie putt and he made it to put a circle on this scorecard. That got him to 13 under and into a tie for sixth. Even bigger, it moved him into the top 70 at No. 67 with three holes to go.
Matti Schmid closed his day with three straight birdies but Thompson’s long putt kept Schmid in the 72nd spot, on the outside looking in.
He was No. 70 after 54 holes but he slipped to 73rd late in his round Sunday. Then, on the 14th hole, he burned the edge of the cup with a par putt, and he had to take bogey. That dropped him to 9 under.
About 20 minutes later he birdied the 15th to get back to 10 under but the immediate number crunching meant he didn’t improve on that 73rd position.

Who’s near the top-70 cutoff for the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs?
Matti Schmid started the week as the “bubble boy”, holding on to that 70th spot. Ahead of his final round, he’s sitting at No. 67.
After 54 holes in Greensboro, Gary Woodland is now in that No. 70 position with 18 holes to go.
How do the FedEx Cup projected standings work?
The PGA Tour’s projected standings are sted throughout the final round as golfers record their birdies, pars, bogeys and more, which them moves them up or down the leaderboard as well as the standings. Once the tournament is complete Sunday evening, the top 70 will be set and the field will be finalized ofr the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
One player in that top 70 who won’t head to Memphis is Rory McIlroy, sitting in the No. 2 spot, who was not on the commit list that came out last Friday.
What happens to those outside the top 70?
Everyone outside the top 70 will have the next three weeks off but all is not lost. Golfers who finish No. 71 through No. 100 will retain full status for the 2026 season. Golfers who finish No. 101 to No. 125 will have conditional status, but it’s worth noting that spots 100 through 125 are not finalized until after the seven-tournament FedEx Cup Fall series as well as the RSM Classic, held in November.
How does the FedEx Cup Playoffs work?
According to the PGA Tour:
The top 70 in the FedExCup standings at the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship will earn their way into the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. From there, the top 50 in the standings will compete at the BMW Championship, and then just the top 30 will tee it up at the Tour Championship, where all players will start the tournament at even par. The best performer over the course of four rounds at the Tour Championship will win the FedExCup.
