Rickie Fowler entered the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club at No. 30 in the FedExCup standings, the last automatic qualifying spot for the season-ending Tour Championship, with Gary Woodland two points behind him. Fowler struggled over the tournament's four rounds, including a stretch of three bogeys in his final six holes during the third round, and finished tied for 37th. That result dropped him to 33rd in the final FedExCup standings, outside the top 30 needed to advance to East Lake.
Fowler's slide was part of a broader shakeup on the bubble at Bellerive, where several players jockeying for the final Tour Championship spots saw their positions shift in the tournament's closing holes. Only the top 30 in FedExCup points after the BMW Championship advance to the Tour Championship; the season ends for everyone else.
The community had strongly favored Fowler to hold his spot, pricing the outcome at 79% yes, but he fell short and missed the Tour Championship field.
