Did Adam Scott qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs? All you need to know

Adam Scott failed to qualify for the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time in sixteen years after finishing 72nd in the FedEx Cup standings. Despite shooting a low 63 on Sunday, August 6, at the Wyndham Championship, the 43-year-old fell short of securing a spot in Memphis. He concluded his performance at the Sedgefield Country Club tied for seventh place with a total score of 12-under.

However, Scott wasn't the only prominent player to miss out on the Playoffs. Notable names like Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, Billy Horschel, and Matt Wallace were also left out of the FedEx Cup this season.

Until this year, Scott was the only player besides Matt Kuchar to have featured in every edition of the FedEx Cup since its inception in 2007.

One of the major reasons for Scott missing out on the Playoffs was his participation in lesser events this season. The former Masters champion has made 15 cuts in 17 starts, securing four top-10 finishes. His best performance of the year was a T5 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship.

Here's a look at Adam Scott's performance this season:

  • Sentry Tournament of Champions: 29
  • Sony Open in Hawaii: T21
  • The Genesis Invitational: 65
  • Arnold Palmer Invitational: T31
  • The Players Championship: 71
  • World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play: T31
  • Masters Tournament: T39
  • RBC Heritage: T31
  • Wells Fargo Championship: T5
  • AT&T Byron Nelson: T8
  • PGA Championship: T29
  • the Memorial Tournament: T9
  • U.S. Open: CUT
  • Travelers Championship: T19
  • Genesis Scottish Open: CUT
  • The Open Championship: T33
  • Wyndham Championship: T7
