Overview

• The Wyndham Championship began July 31 at Sedgefield Country Club with 156 players competing over 72 holes and a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties.
• The $8.2 million purse awards $1.476 million and 500 FedEx Cup points to the winner, a result that could dramatically alter playoff standings.
• After weekend play, the top 70 in FedEx Cup standings will advance to the St. Jude Championship, with the top 50 eligible for the BMW Championship and the top 30 for the Tour Championship.
• Jordan Spieth (50th) and Rickie Fowler (52nd) sit just inside the playoff threshold and look to climb into the top 50, while Adam Scott (85th) needs an exceptional finish to reach the postseason.
• Canadians Adam Hadwin, Adam Svensson and Ben Silverman are well outside the top 70 and would each need a tournament victory to earn playoff berths.
