Jordan Spieth Gets His 14th Straight Appearance in PGA Tour Playoffs without Having a Top 10
The 21-year-old became the first PGA Tour player to reach the playoffs in fewer than 13 starts after finishing 70th in FedEx Cup points.
- On Sunday, 21-year-old Jackson Koivun qualified for the FedEx Cup Playoffs after tying for 29th at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. Koivun secured the 70th and final playoff spot.
- Koivun turned professional in June following the 2026 U.S. Open, bypassing his senior year at Auburn University. He won the 3M Open in his third professional start, launching his rapid ascent into the FedEx Cup standings.
- No player has previously qualified for the playoffs in fewer than 13 starts, making Koivun's achievement historic. He edged out veterans including Keegan Bradley, the one-time major champion and 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain, and Jason Day, 38.
- Koivun will compete this coming week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first event of the FedEx Cup Playoffs. He must finish inside the top 50 to advance to the BMW Championship.
- Three consecutive tournaments comprise the FedEx Cup Playoffs postseason, with the field narrowing after each event. Koivun must reach the top 30 at the Tour Championship to claim the season title.
