Did Rickie Fowler qualify for the BMW Championship 2023? Golfer’s FedEx Cup Playoffs standing explored

Rickie Fowler didn't have much trouble qualifying for the BMW Championship despite his poor outing in the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Fowler, who was ninth in the FedEx Cup standings before the Memphis event, slipped three spots after a T58 finish on Sunday, August 13. He shot 2-under 68 in the final day event to aggregate at 1-under par after 72 holes.

After finishing outside the top 100 last year, the 34-year-old golfer returned to form in 2023 and made eight top-10 finishes in 23 starts. This included a win and a runner-up finish. His win at the Rocket Mortgage Classic came after more than five winless years.

There hasn't been much change in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup standings, with Jon Rahm still leading the leaderboard with 3386 points. He is followed by Scottie Scheffler, who is 148 points behind him. Rory McIlroy, who finished T3 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, holds the third position with 2954 points.

Lucas Glover made an impressive 45-spot jump after his triumph at TPC Southwind. He now holds the fourth position, trailing McIlroy by just 69 points
