The PGA Tour will own the men’s pro golf calendar in August, with the Wyndham Championship followed by three FedEx Cup playoff events. There’s not a LIV Golf event all month, yet the upstart league will still play a part in the PGA Tour’s postseason. A memo sent by the PGA Tour to players on Tuesday outlined a “soft” top 125 points list to account for players inside the cutoff yet ineligible for the playoffs due to their LIV Golf participation and subsequent suspension. So fan favorites such as Jason Day (No. 127 prior to the start of this week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic) and Rickie Fowler (No. 132) could still make the postseason because of eight players removed such as Talor Gooch (No. 20) and Matt Jones (No. 62).
