Wyndham Championship 2025: Sahith Theegala, others’ minimum finish needed for FedEx Cup playoffs berth explored

The 2025 Wyndham Championship is the only tournament for players to secure their spots in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings to qualify for the playoffs. The regular season of the PGA Tour will wrap with this week's event, and following that, players will head for the playoffs next month.

Some big names, including Sahith Theegala, Max Homa, and Adam Scott, are ranked outside the top 70 in the season standings and are looking forward to a good finish this week.

Theegala is ranked 140th in the standings, and only a win this week can help him get into the top 70. Nick Dunlap also needs to win the tournament to secure the playoff berth.

Max Homa needs a minimum finish of a two-way tie for second, while Tom Kim needs a solo third-place finish. PGA Tour staff writer Paul Hodowanec shared the positions players need this week to enter the playoffs on X.

Here is the list:

• Adam Scott: two-way T3
• Max Homa: two-way T2
• Tom Kim: solo 3rd
• Keith Mitchell: solo 58th
• Nicolai Højgaard: solo 63rd
• Gary Woodland: solo 25th
• Joel Dahmen: two-way T2
• Nick Dunlap: WIN
• Sahith Theegala: WIN
