This week's Wyndham Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour's 2024 regular season, as the top 70 in the FedEx Cup Standings will head to Memphis, Tennessee, next week for the first playoff event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
However, before the race to East Lake gets underway, players on the outside looking in have one more chance to climb up the standings with a good finish at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Lucas Glover returns as the defending champion and is joined in the field by Jordan Spieth, Cameron Young, Sungjae Im, Shane Lowry, Billy Horschel and Brian Harman, among others.
Spieth, who lost in a playoff to Patrick Reed at the 2013 Wyndham, hasn't finished inside the top 20 since the Valero Texas Open in April (T-10).
This week's winner will earn $1.422 million of the $7.9 million total purse and 500 FedEx Cup points.

Sungjae Im (12/1)
I hate betting on the favorite, but Im is in this position for a reason.
Over his last 10 starts, Im has finished T-12 or better eight times.
The 26-year-old Korean has finished inside the top 25 in all five of his appearances at the Wyndham Championship with three of those being top 10s. He was one of the runner-ups in 2022.
Min Woo Lee (35/1)
The Aussie is 62nd in the FedEx Cup Standings, so he's safe for the playoffs, but a little more breathing room wouldn't hurt.
This will be Lee's Wyndham Championship debut, but I like his chances.
After opening with a 76 at the Olympics, Lee shot 65-68-68 over the final three rounds to finish T-22. Before crossing the pond for the Scottish Open and British Open, Lee tied for second at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
He's been sniffing around his first win and this seems like as good a spot as any to get it done.
Thomas Detry (45/1)
Detry has been lurking on leaderboards for the better part of the summer and has had some success at the Wyndham.
He's missed just one cut in his last 12 starts and has five top-20 finishes during that span.
The Belgian finished solo 21st at Sedgefield last year.
Nicolai Hojgaard (50/1)
Hojgaard had a solid showing at the Olympics, tying the course record Saturday with a 9-under 62 and eventually grabbing solo seventh.
The Dane has made the cut at his last five Tour starts and finished T-14 at Sedgefield CC last season.
He enters the week ranked 80th in the FedEx Cup Standings, so he needs a great week to earn his way into the playoffs.
Patrick Fishburn (90/1)
Over his last seven starts, Fishburn has finishes of T-20, T-25 (Rocket Mortgage Classic), 15th, 3rd and T-6 (3M Open).
Sitting at 101st in the FedEx Cup Standings, Fishburn needs a huge week in North Carolina to earn a spot in Memphis.
This will be Fishburn's Wyndham debut.
