FEDEx CUP Playoffs Begin This Week in Memphis
GREENSBORO – Lucas Glover earned his fifth career PGA TOUR title in his 512th start at the age of 43 years, 8 months, 25 days. He became the third player in the FedEx Cup era (est. 2007) to enter the Wyndham Championship outside the bubble for the FedEx Cup Playoffs and win to get in. Glover joined Davis Love III (2015) and Jim Herman (2020), who were outside the Top 125. Glover had to make the Top 70.
Under the “old” FEDEx CUP Playoffs, Austin Smotherman would’ve qualified at No. 125.
Glover bumped-out PGA Tour rookie Austin Eckroat, who entered the week No. 70 and missed the cut and fell to No. 74.
First and second-round outright leader Russell Henley finished T2, earning his fourth consecutive Top-10 at the Wyndham.
With Australia’s Adam Scott (T7) finishing No. 72 in the FedEx Cup standings, American Matt Kuchar is now the only player that has qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in each season since the inception of the FedExCup in 2007.
Justin Thomas (T12) finished the FedEx Cup Regular Season at No. 71 in the FedEx Cup standings, and the score scrapped a streak of eight consecutive seasons qualifying for the FedEx Cup Playoffs and seven straight appearances in the TOUR Championship.
