The top 10 spots on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup points standings were unchanged after the Rocket Classic and with the leading contenders taking a week off, Scottie Scheffler will hold the No. 1 spot entering the playoffs.
But the intrigue isn't at the top: It's near the bottom of the top 100 players this week at the Wyndham Championship, beginning on Aug. 6 at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The top 70 on the points list will advance to the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, Aug. 13-16, at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Jackson Koivun remains on the No. 70 bubble on the points list after tying for 31st at the Rocket Classic. Michael Thorbjornsen made one of the biggest moves with his first

Who's on the FedEx Cup Playoffs bubble?
The top 70 after this week's Wyndham Championship qualify for the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. There are fewer than 200 points separating No. 60 Shane Lowry from No. 75 Jason Day, which can be made up with a third-place finish in Greensboro, and Koivun, with 558 points, can be caught by No. 105 Michael Brennan with a finish of third or higher.
The contenders aren't taking any chances. No. 61 Nick Taylor through No. 101 Lee Hodges are playing at the Wyndham Championship. Mathematically, No. 181 Webb Simpson (61 points) can get into the playoff with a victory.
