PGA Tour: Wyndham Championship 2021
Sedgefield Country Club – Greensboro, North Carolina
- Strokeplay
- Prize money: $6,400,000
- Defending champion: Jim Herman
Despite his successful year, Rose failed to qualify for the FedEx Cup for the first time in his PGA career.
His current season highlights include finishing T8 at the PGA Championship, his second consecutive top-10 at the event and fifth in his career. Led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting (2.932 per round). During the Masters, he shot a first-round 65 and took a four-stroke 18-hole lead before finishing solo-seventh.
The FedExCup is a season-long points competition which culminates with the FedExCup Playoffs, a series of three events to determine the FedExCup Champion. The top 125 players in the FedExCup standings are eligible for the FedExCup Playoffs with the three events featuring a progressive cut with fields of 125, 70 and 30. Justin Rose currently ranks at 126 which leaves him out of the running for this season’s championship. Despite missing out this year, Rose seems to be holding his head high for his fans.
