New PGA Tour winner Cameron Young moves up in the latest U.S. team Ryder Cup standings
The Ryder Cup is about seven weeks away and guys on the U.S. side continue to work towards eligibility. In the latest standings update, however, there was no movement among the top six, which are the automatic qualifiers. In fact, the top 14 slots are the same as they were a week ago, with Scottie Scheffler leading the way, holding a huge lead over No. 2 Xander Schauffele. A big mover up in the U.S. standings was Cameron Young, who broke through for his maiden victory on the PGA Tour on Sunday at the Wyndham Championship. Young was previously 19th but he's up four spots to No. 14. In the process, Sam Burns, Wyndham Clark, Lucas Glover and Daniel Berger each moved down a spot as Young leapt ahead of them. Twelve players make the team, with the final six spots being captain's picks by U.S. head honcho Keegan Bradley, who himself checks in at No. 10. To date, there is still just one player, Scheffler, who has earn one of the six automatic roster spots. The top six after the BMW Championship in two weeks will make the team. The standings below are as of the Aug. 3, 2025, update.

How do the FedEx Cup Playoffs work? What is the format? Who qualifies? What's new in 2025?
The only constant is change, they say. Here in 2025, golfers are facing more change to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. Since its launch in 2007, the PGA Tour's postseason has been through some changes, from format to the number of golfers earning spots. Here's what you need to know about how it all looks now. How many golfers make the FedEx Cup Playoffs? First off, the top 70 in the FedExCup standings at the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship earn spots in the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship. That's down from 100 a year ago. From there, the top 50 will advance to the BMW Championship, and then just the top 30 will earn a spot in the Tour Championship. What are the FedEx Cup Playoff tournaments? TPC Southwind, Memphis, Aug. 7-10 Caves Valley Golf Club, Owings Mills, Maryland, Aug. 14-17 East Lake Golf Club, Atlanta, Aug. 21-24 The St. Jude and the BMW each have a $20 million total purse with the winner getting $3.6 million. How has the Tour Championship bonus money changed? The PGA Tour says the "FedEx Cup Bonus Distribution total is $100 million, with the FedEx Cup champion earning $10 million." The money has been reshuffled and spread across a few places. A year ago, Scottie Scheffler banked $25 million for winning the 2024 Tour Championship. The first two events are prize-money payouts but the Tour Championship is considered "bonus" money and doesn't go towards a golfer's official money on the PGA Tour's all-time money list. But it spends just the same. What's changed with the Tour Championship? The Tour Championship will be played as a 72-hole stroke-play event, with all players starting the tournament at even par, just like most Tour events. This is a shift away from the "starting strokes" format (in which the top golfer in the standings started at 10 under, the second-place golfer at 8 under and so on), which was used from 2019-2024. Where to watch the FedEx Cup Playoffs The tag team of NBC Sports, Golf Channel and ESPN+ will have extensive coverage of all three tournaments of the postseason. Who are the past FedEx Cup champions? 2007 - Tiger Woods 2008 - Vijay Singh 2009 - Tiger Woods 2010 - Jim Furyk 2011- Bill Haas 2012 - Brandt Snedeker 2013 - Henrik Stenson 2014 - Billy Horschel 2015 - Jordan Spieth 2016 - Rory McIlroy 2017 - Justin Thomas 2018 - Justin Rose 2019 - Rory McIlroy 2020 - Dustin Johnson 2021 - Patrick Cantlay 2022 - Rory McIlroy 2023 - Viktor Hovland 2024 - Scottie Scheffler What happens to PGA Tour golfers outside the top 70? Those who finish Nos. 71-100 in the standings will have full PGA Tour status for 2026, while players Nos. 101-125 will retain conditional status, although the top 100 and top 125 will not be finalized until after the FedExCup Fall and The RSM Classic in November.
