Bubble boys: Zach Johnson, Shane Lowry nab playoff bids with Wyndham finishes

GREENSBORO, N.C. – While there wasn’t the typical dose of bubble drama this week at the Wyndham Championship, a pair of major winners managed to sneak into the playoffs at the regular season finale.

Because of the schedule alterations that came with the COVID-19 pandemic, players who were exempt this season on Tour will retain at least some status for the 2020-21 season. A finish outside the top 125 that might normally have equated to a trip to Korn Ferry Tour Finals instead this year only brings with it a minor demotion, with players outside the top 125 playing from a special eligibility category that will include periodic reshuffles to determine player priority.
