Sahith Theegala, Akshay Bhatia, and Aaron Rai secured their spots in the BMW Championship after advancing to the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings. Their season-long performances were enough to keep them inside the top 50, despite finishing outside the top 60 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Theegala finished 67th with a final-round score of 71, while Bhatia and Rai placed 68th and 63rd respectively after shooting 76 and 78 in the final round. The three golfers' positions also guarantee them spots in all PGA Tour's $20 million Signature Events next season.

Scheffler dominated the tournament with a commanding eight-shot victory, his second this season after winning The American Express in January. His impressive performance included a second-round 61 and consecutive birdies to regain control of the lead.
