The FedEx Cup rankings are finally out, with Scottie Scheffler topping the list. Following the conclusion of the Wyndham Championship, the final FedEx Cup standings were revealed. Most of the top-ranked players, including Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, and Wyndham Clark, have secured their spots in the playoffs.

Interestingly, Victor Perez, who was on the borderline, jumped one position after the Wyndham Championship, settling in 70th place, and will compete in the playoffs. However, some top-ranked golfers, including Rickie Fowler and Matt Kuchar, will miss the playoffs.

Below are the top five golfers who will miss the 2024 FedEx Cup playoffs.
