Who's in, who has work to do to make the top 70 for 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs?
The race is on to the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs.
There are just four events left (two this week) over the next three weeks for players to stay or get inside the top 70.
That's the new rule in 2025, only the top 70 players earn playoff spots. The three FedEx Cup Playoff events are the same: the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, the BMW Championship, played this year at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, and then the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, where a new format will be used this season.
FedEx Cup stadings Nos. 1-5
Just a slight change at the top of the standings with Thomas and Henley flipping spots.
FedEx Cup standings Nos. 26-30
Top 30 is actually the key place to be as only the top 30 advance to the Tour Championship. The last five in for the top 30 looks like this:
FedEx Cup standings Nos. 46-50
To make the second leg of the playoffs at the BMW, golfers need to be inside the top 50.
FedEx Cup standings Nos. 61-70
But you can't make East Lake or the BMW if you don't first make it to Memphis for the St. Jude. Here's the last five in for a top-70 spot:
So that makes Smalley this week's bubble boy. He was No. 70 in the official rankings a week ago as well.
FedEx Cup standings Nos. 71-75
And here's the first five out, with Rickie Fowler, playing in the Open Championship this week, the first one on the wrong side of the line. He was 68 a week ago. It's not an unfamiliar position for Fowler, who was hovering around the top 100 cutoff mark a year ago. He's 30 or so spots better this year but because of the reduction to 70, he's walking a fine line once again.
Movers up and down in the latest FedEx Cup Playoffs standings
Like Fowler, Chris Kirk has slid from inside the top 70 to out. Kirk was 69th a week ago and now he's 72nd. With someone sliding out, someone else slides in and that someone this week is Matt Fitzpatrick, who went from 73rd to 60th in the standings after a tie for fourth at the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday.
