The most unusual of golf seasons will come to an end this week in Greensboro, North Carolina. Well, the regular season will. Golf is an all-year deal, but the PGA Tour's version will conclude at the Wyndham Championship, to be followed by three playoff events to determine its season-long champion.
This week is important because it will help determine the top 125 on the FedEx Cup points list. Only those players can advance to the playoffs and next week's Northern Trust tournament. And without some other type of exemption, those who fall outside lose their PGA Tour card and are faced with playing the Korn Ferry Tour Finals or having to rely on other means to get into tournaments in the 2021-22 season.
