Jackson Koivun secured the 70th and final FedEx Cup playoff spot at the Wyndham Championship, which concluded Sunday, August 9, 2026, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 21-year-old rookie, who turned professional in June after leaving Auburn, closed with a 4-under 71 to finish tied for 29th at the regular-season finale. That result was enough to keep him at No. 70 in the FedExCup standings, with roughly eight points to spare over the closest challengers.
Koivun had entered the week already holding the bubble spot but faced a tense final afternoon as Matt Wallace and Davis Thompson remained on the course with chances to finish high enough to overtake him. Neither converted the putts needed down the stretch, and Koivun's position held. The finish extended a rapid ascent for Koivun, who won the 3M Open in just his third start as a professional, tying Tiger Woods for the fewest career starts needed to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. Players outside the top 70 saw their PGA Tour seasons end, including Brooks Koepka and Keegan Bradley, who were also on bubble watch entering the week.
The outcome ran counter to the Predict Six community forecast, where only 33% of voters predicted Koivun would hold the spot; the majority expected him to be overtaken before the tournament ended.
