The FexEx Cup Playoffs start next week! The Golfing Gazette takes a look at the latest standings.

2024 FedEx Cup Standings: Top 70 Players Heading into the Wyndham Championship

As the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs draw near, the PGA Tour’s final event before the Playoffs, the Wyndham Championship, is set to unfold at Sedgefield Country Club this week. This tournament represents the last opportunity for players on the cusp of qualifying for the Playoffs to secure their spots in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings.

 

The FedEx Cup Playoffs, starting next Thursday, are a high-stakes series of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship, and the Tour Championship. The initial field will consist of 70 players competing at the St. Jude Championship, which will then be narrowed to 50 for the BMW Championship. The final 30 players will advance to the Tour Championship, where the ultimate FedEx Cup champion will be crowned.

 

The Playoffs offer a staggering $100 million prize pool, with the FedEx Cup champion set to receive a remarkable $25 million. Last year, Viktor Hovland claimed the largest payout, while Rory McIlroy secured the FedEx Cup for a third time in 2023. As the 2024 season approaches its climax, the question remains: who will emerge as the FedEx Cup champion this year? The answer is yet to be determined, but one thing is clear: players need to be in the top 70 to participate in the Playoffs.
