GREENSBORO, N.C. – This week’s Wyndham Championship is the last opportunity for players to secure a spot for the upcoming FedExCup Playoffs. The top 125 in points after this week advance to next week’s Playoffs opener at THE NORTHERN TRUST. That means there will be a tournament within a tournament at Sedgefield, as those inside the top 125 look to secure their spots while players outside the 125 hope to bust the bubble. PGA TOUR LIVE will offer streaming coverage of two morning Featured Groups on Thursday and Friday starting at 7 a.m. ET. Featured Hole coverage from the par-4 13th and par-3 16th will begin at 3 p.m. ET. Saturday and Sunday Featured Hole coverage begins at 1 pm. ET and will include the par-4 first. Facebook Watch will offer streaming coverage of this weekend’s action from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday. Sirius/XM PGA TOUR Radio coverage will begin at noon ET in the first two rounds. Here’s a look at the Featured Groups for each of the first two rounds (FedExCup rankings in parentheses). THURSDAY Billy Horschel (43), Brandt Snedeker (80), Hideki Matsuyama (88) – Horschel, the 2014 FedExCup champ, is pretty much a lock for the first three Playoffs events. Snedeker, the 2012 champ, is in good shape for the first two. Snedeker is a past Wyndham champ, albeit on a different course (2007 at Forest Oaks). Shockingly, Matsuyama’s last top-10 finish in a full-field PGA TOUR event was a year ago. Tee time: 7:40 a.m. ET off 10th tee Webb Simpson (12), Si Woo Kim (45), Sergio Garcia (131) – Two things that these three players have in common: they’ve each won THE PLAYERS Championship and they’ve each won the Wyndham Championship. Right now, though, only Simpson and Kim are guaranteed spots in the Playoffs. Garcia’s target finish this week is a solo 20th or better, which should give him enough points to move above the projected points total needed to make the Playoffs. He has never missed the Playoffs. Tee time: 7:50 a.m. ET off 10th tee FRIDAY Daniel Berger (83), Jason Dufner (86), Bill Haas (150) – Haas, the 2011 FedExCup champ, has never missed the Playoffs but he will need a big week at Sedgefield to keep that streak alive. Berger and Dufner are safely in but would love to improve their positions. Tee time: 7:40 a.m. ET off 10th tee Henrik Stenson (50), Ryan Moore (59), Jhonattan Vegas (122) – Stenson is the defending Wyndham champ, having won last year with a tournament-record total of 22 under. The 2013 FedExCup champ has five top-10 finishes this season. Moore also has experienced success at Sedgefield having won a playoff in 2009. Vegas is just inside the top 125, so he’ll be looking to secure his spot in the Playoffs this week. Tee time: 7:50 a.m. ET off 10th tee
A matter of seconds cost Zach Johnson a shot on Friday. An 18-foot birdie putt at TPC River Highlands’ par-4 third (Johnson’s 12th) during the second round of the Travelers Championship saw Johnson’s ball finish right on the lip. As Rule 16-2 notes, when a ball overhangs the lip a player is allowed time to reach the hole without “unreasonable delay� and an additional 10 seconds to determine if the ball is at rest. If the ball falls in the hole in that timespan, the player is deemed to have holed out with the putt and is given that score. But if the ball falls in the hole after that unreasonable delay + 10-second timespan, a player must add a penalty shot to his score. In essence, Johnson would’ve
