The tournament inside the tournament at each of the FedEx Cup Playoff events is watching who moves into the next safe FedEx Cup points cutline and who falls out and sees their season come to an end. This was the case again this past week at the Dell Technologies Championship, where beyond Bryson DeChambeau walking off with his second straight playoff win (and locking up the No. 1 ranking in the FedEx Cup points entering not just next week’s BMW Championship but the Tour Championship as well), there was the movement around the top 70 line to determine who would advance to play in the BMW at Aronimink and who would see their season come to an end.
How things shook out was interesting as a few marquee players—most notably Matt Kuchar, Jimmy Walker, Stewart Cink and Charley Hoffman—all saw their bubbles burst. Below is the listing after play at TPC Boston, which also shows who moved insider the top 30 and has the inside track to play at East Lake later this month with a chance to win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup title.
