5 amazing subpictures of Wyndham

If you haven’t scheduled a weekend party for the Wyndham Championship this week, then, we’re not here to blame you. There are some other things happening. The last major of the year will be held at Porthcawl’s AIG Women’s Open, while the men’s game remains in an awkward position, between the Grand Slam and the start of the playoffs. Maybe you have planned to mow the lawn. Meet some friends. Play your own little golf.

But while the regular season finals of this PGA Tour are always interesting sub-pictures, this year seems to be even more than usual. With fewer playoff spots, more money online, Ryder Cup position and job security for balances and more dangers, almost everyone has extra stuff to play with.

Here are the five most interesting things:

1. Money, money, money

If you only mention more people grab millions of dollars in men’s golf games, that’s great. I get it. Jump to the next bullet point. But in addition to Wyndham’s $8.2 million wallet, there are multiple seasons of bonuses, which means there is a a lot of Cash rush.

First there are the Comcast Business Tour top ten, which put $40 million into the regular season top ten, as shown below:

Comcast Business Tour Top 10 Bonus

First – $8 trillion
2nd – $6 million
Third time – $4.8 million
Fourth place – $4.4 million
Fifth – $4 million
Sixth – $3.4 million
Seventh vote – $2.8 million
$8-2.4 million
9th – $2.2 million
$100,000,000,000

But I understand: there is return Now they spread love to three different expenses, which is the first FedEx Cup bonus. Ignoring the fact that having two different regular season prize funds distributed simultaneously and using very different payment structures is an interesting fact, and this is what it looks like:

FedEx Cup Regular Season Payment

First – $10 million
2nd – $4 million
Third vote – $1.2 million
Fourth place – $1 million
Fifth – $800K
Sixth vote – $700K
Seventh vote – $650K
8th – $600K
9th – $550k
10-$500K

The bad news about entertainment is that the first two attractions have been locked. Congratulations, Scottie Scheffleryour $180,000 ($8 million from Comcast, $10 million from FedEx). Congratulations, Rory McIlroyyour own $100,000 ($6 million and $4 million). They will receive a sweet direct deposit to the footsteps anywhere near Greensboro, North Carolina, and they will have more bonuses along the way. But after them, things got even more interesting.

Ben Griffin (No. 7 in the FedEx Cup), Keegan Bradley (No. 10), Andrew Novak (No. 12) and Robert MacIntyre (No. 15) Both can be meaningfully moved upward with the highest finish. If Griffin wins, he will charge $1.48 million in the winner’s check and increase his bonus payment by more than $2.5 million. Captain Keegan must secure (or improve) his current $2.5 million bonus.

Some then tried to sneak out of the top ten, including the possibility that Novak could win this week, grabbing Bradley in the Ryder Cup standings and capturing his $25 million in the race for the captain’s draft pick. ((Bob McIntyre It could also make Bradley start the Ryder Cup tension early.

2. Playoffs

I know it’s hard to track, so let’s review: 70 players are now making the FedEx Cup playoffs. Then, 50 points won the second round of BMW and entered the major tour championship finale 30 times.

So, this week we called Bubble Boys. Large workers Tony Finna (No. 60) and Rickie Fowler (No. 61) Almost certainly safe for the top 70, but here is the look behind them:

62 – Davis Riley, 651.7 FedEx Cup Points
63 – Kevin Yu, 644.3
64 – Erik Van Rooyen, 634.4
65 – Nico Echavarria, 628.5
66 – Emiliano Grillo, 627.6
67 – Cam Davis, 616.3
68 – Patrick Rodgers, 615.6
69 – Ben An, 595.4
70 – Matti Schmid, 594.6
–
71 – Nicolai Hojgaard, 590.4
72 – Keith Mitchell, 589.3
73 – Chris Kirk, 582
74 – Christiaan Bezuidenhout, 575.1
75 – Gary Woodland, 562.1
76 – Kevin Roy, 555.8
77 – Alex Smalley, 553.8
78 – Davis Thompson, 551.6
79 – Eric Cole, 546.2
80 – William Mouw, 526.7

These are a slim but meaningful edge. The top 70 will be in full form for the 2026 season with worry-free form (well, they will still sweat the top 50 etc, but you’ll get the idea), while everyone else will work hard to secure their cards this fall. Which one to say…

3. Work safety

This year’s tour cuts its all-status card to 100 instead of 125. (No. 101-125 will have some status.) Cuts will not be done this week – instead, it will be completed by the end of the seven-game fall season. But if you’re not in the top 70, this will be your last tour until mid-September at Procore in Napa, California, which means there’s some urgency ahead of the long layoffs. This is the method That Currently, Bubble looks like a fan favorite of No. 101; I also starred in the players who were exempted until 2026.

91-Danny Walker
92-Matt Wallace
93 – Garrick Higgo
94 – Taylor Moore
95 – Vince Whaley
96 – Beau Hossler
97 – Billy Horschel*
98 – Mark Hubbard
99-Max McGreevy
100 – Isaiah Salinda
101-Joel Daman
102-Lee Hodges
103 – Rico Hoey
104 – Austin Ekroat*
105-Jesper Svensson
106-Max Homa*
107 – Victor Perez
108 – Patrick Fishburn
109-Chen Jin
110 – Alejandro Tosti

4. Ryder Cup Attractions (US Team Edition)

Most Ryder Cup Locks didn’t play this week – we didn’t have Schefflers, Schauffeles, and even Spauns and Henleys in the world put it into practice. But, despite this, there are many teams in the United States.

The three Americans in the Ryder Cup combo are not only playing – Griffin, Bradley and Novak are the 9, 10 and 13 in the US rankings – they are actually playing Together In the first two rounds, this means the opportunity to audition directly in front of Bradley. (Bradley’s audition for Bradley is of course the most compelling.)

Of course, these guys are all going to the playoffs, so that’s not the final look. But Griffin and Novak have upgraded after a hot extension earlier this season. It’s time to see if they can take action.

There are other people who can do some kind of heater and insert themselves into the conversation – Lucas Glovers, Cameron Youngs and Sam Stevens world. However, for the time being, we will train our eyes in the top three.

5. Ryder Cup Spots (European Team Edition)

Due to the way European professionals arrange the season, the Ryder Cup Bubble Boy can also be the FedEx Cup Bubble Boy. This means there are some professional players playing this week to extend the season and also extend the audition time for several weeks. The most noteworthy one is Rasmus Hojgaard (7th in the Ryder Cup rankings and 82nd in the FedEx Cup), Matt Wallace (No. 11 in the Ryder Cup, No. 92 in the FedEx Cup) and Nicolai Hojgaard (No. 25 in the Ryder Cup, No. 71 in the FedEx Cup). Nicolai just needs solid performance, Rasmus or Wallace need something special to keep their American season. If not, then see if they have added some European events, such as the Danish Golf Championship (14-17 August, suitable for Danish twins) or the Betfred British Masters (21-24 August) if they missed the top 70.

There are other European competitors at Wyndham Stadium, which may also be more likely (Matthew Fitzpatrick, Currently ranked 13th on the European team list) and others who need to splash (Thomas Detry, Aaron Rai, Harry Hall).

On my Napkin Math, the European team has 9 near locks (Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry). As for the last three? There is also a little golf to find out.

I wish you a good week always a good week. This week, things are better.
