PGA Tour FedEx Cup points leaders mostly unchanged after 3M Open

[ASFN Admin]

Jackson Koivun did a bit more than win his first PGA Tour title on July 26 at the 3M Open, in his third professional start.

His 500 FedEx Cup points for winning put Koivun right on the FedEx Cuo playoff bubble.

Koivun is 70th on the points list with 525.2. That's the final spot that will qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs in two weeks after the final two regular-season events, the Rocket Classic in Detroit (July 30-Aug. 2) and the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. (Aug. 6-9).

The top 70 will advance to the first of three playoff events, Aug. 13-16 at the FedEx St. Jude Classic at TPC Southwind in Memphis.

Koivun's lead isn't much. He's 2.695 points ahead of No. 71 Andrew Putnam, 20.08 points clear of No. 72 Mac Meissner and 36.669 points ahead of No. 73 Johnny Keefer.

If Koivun misses the cut this week at the Detroit Golf Club, players down to No. 111 Mark Hubbard could pass him with a top-10 finish or better.

Scottie Scheffler remains in the lead​

Scottie Scheffler, who led the FedEx Cup points list through the end of the regular season three of the last four years (winning in 2024), posted his fifth runner-up finish and 11th top-10 at the 3M Open and remains comfortably ahead on the points list. Scheffler is up 794 points over Matt Fitzpatrick and 1,037 over Cameron Young.

The only movement among the points leaders was Gary Woodland going from 29th to 25th with a top-10 at the 3M Open, and Hideki Matsuyama going from 37th to 36th with tie for third.

Scheffler isn't scheduled to play again until the St. Jude Classic, and his closest pursuers are evidently conceding him another regular-season title. Fitzpatrick isn't entered this week and Young, who is playing the next two weeks, couldn't catch Scheffler if he won both to earn a maximum of 1,000 points.

There could be some jockeying behind Scheffler this week. The Rocket Classic has a decent field, drawing 22 of the top-50 on the points list, led by Young, No. 4 Wyndham Clark, No. 7 Si Woo Kim and No. 12 Akshay Bhati.
