The Wyndham Championship is the last chance saloon for several big names on the PGA Tour as they battle to make the FedEx Cup Playoffs, but who needs what to break into that crucial top 70?
There will be plenty of permutations and mid-tournament adjustments with players sitting below Hideki Matsuyama at No.56 in the FedEx Cup standings all being vulnerable to dropping out of the top 70 if things don't go their way.
It's extra tough to make the Playoffs this season with only the top 70 lining up at the FedEx St Jude Championship instead of the usual 125, and some big names are on the outside looking in.
Two-time Major winner and 2017 FedEx Cup champion Justin Thomas is the headline, as he faces missing the Playoffs for the first time in his career after a tough season.
He enters the Wyndham Championship down in 79th in the standings while World No.30 Shane Lowry is at 76th and former Masters champion Adam Scott is down in 81st.
Scott, who along with Matt Kuchar are the only other players to make every edition of the Playoffs since their inception in 2007, now has to have a big week to keep that streak going.
Another former FedEx Cup champion, Billy Horschel is all the way down in 116th and most likely needs to win the Wyndham to make the Playoffs
What are the FedEx Cup permutations?
It's a fluid situation with so many moving parts, but luckily the PGA Tour has crunched the numbers for those currently on the bubble looking to get in.
They've compiled a list of the minimum requirement players such as Thomas and Lowry need to get into the top 70 - and more importantly what they'll probably need to do to guarantee their spot.
So here's where some of those players currently rank, followed by their minimum requirement and what they'll likely need to guarantee a top 70 spot.
72nd Garrick Higgo - Minimum: Solo 51st | Likely needs: Solo 10th
76th Shane Lowry - Minimum: Two-way T23 | Likely needs: Two-way T5
77th Justin Suh - Minimum: Two-way T19 | Likely needs: Three-way T4
79th Justin Thomas - Minimum: Solo 18th | Likely needs: Three-way T4
80th Matt Wallace - Minimum: Solo 14th | Likely needs: Two-way T4
