5 golfers who could make big moves in the FedEx Cup rankings at Wyndham Championship ft. Nicolai Hojgaard

PGA Tour golfers are gearing up to compete in this week's Wyndham Championship, the final event of the season. The tournament is crucial for players looking to improve their FedEx Cup rankings and secure a spot in the playoff events.

Following this week's PGA Tour event, the golfers will compete in the FedEx Cup playoffs. However, only the top 70 in the standings will advance to the St. Jude Championship. From there, the top 50 will move on to the BMW Championship, and the top 30 will qualify for the Tour Championship.

While most of the top-ranked players have secured their spots in the top 70, some will compete this week in hopes of jumping up in the FedEx Cup standings. Here are five golfers currently outside the top 70 who will be looking to improve their rankings at the Wyndham Championship.
