FedEx Cup bubble watch: Who's in, who's out heading into final round of St. Jude Championship

New point rules have drained the playoffs of volatility and drama.

FedEx Cup bubble watch: Who's in, who's out heading into final round of St. Jude Championship

In a final round showdown at the St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Scottie Scheffler is leading by two strokes over Sam Burns and Sungjae Im, both of whom are looking to end their long winless streaks. While the competition within the FedEx Cup playoff bubble is relatively stagnant, one player is set to move inside the Top 50, while another will be forced out.

Sungjae Im, who finished tied for second, is projected to climb from 53rd to 35th in the FedEx Cup standings. However, Matt McCarty, who was tied for 48th, will drop out of the top 50. Despite the lack of movement for many players, others like Sahith Theegala and Robert McIntyre are more susceptible to significant changes in their standing due to their current positions and the minimal point differences at play.
