The cadence of the 2025 FedEx Cup Fall season has slowed compared to the prior two iterations. With a couple of weeks off intertwined with one less tournament than a year ago, the fall swing has meandered through the calendar without much urgency attached to it.
That all changes over the next three weeks as three tournaments occupy the schedule — not just any three, either, but the final three of the PGA Tour season. Players’ job security and PGa tour status will be put under the microscope as the World Wide Technology Championship, Bermuda Championship and RSM Classic host those vying for various positions in the FedEx Cup standings.
Two main cut-off points are highlighted this time of year with those being the top 60 and the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings. Those who find themselves Nos. 51-60 in the season-long race will be awarded a bit of a head start in 2026, automatically qualifying for the first two signature events at the AT&T Pebble Beach and Genesis Invitational via the Aon Next 10.
As for those who finish inside the top 100, they will be granted access into full-field events in 2026 along with full-time playing privileges on the PGA Tour. With opportunities shrinking, this crop of players will face an uphill battle, but they remain in the fight nevertheless.
Let’s examine some of the names attempting to escape these bubbles over the next three tournaments as the 2025 PGA Tour season nears its end.
