The US PGA Tour solidified its field of 70 golfers for the post-season event after the final round of the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina on Sunday (local time).
Day, showing glimpses of his absolute best in 2025 after years of battling injuries, finished the season in 37th place.
The other Aussies who qualified were Min Woo Lee in 50th spot and Cam Davis (69th).
Australian rookie Karl Vilips, who claimed his first US PGA Tour event this year at the Puerto Rico Open, ended the season in 83rd spot.Â
Vilips finished the regular season in dazzling style, scoring his first hole-in-one in the final round of the Wyndham, where he was the leading Aussie, tied for 19th place at 10 under.
New Zealander Ryan Fox, a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour this season, qualified in 32nd place.
Scott fired a 65 on the first day of the Wyndham but was pedestrian from there. He needed a victory to catapult from 85th into the top 70, but instead dropped back to 90th in points at season's end.
American Gary Woodland, the 2019 US Open winner, was among a host of notable names who failed to qualify at the Wyndham.
He had an outside shot of entering the top 70 after beginning the tournament in 75th place.
Woodland opened with rounds of 67 and 64 to be near the top of the leaderboard, but back-to-back 70s on the weekend weren't enough. He tied for 23rd at the Wyndham and finished the season 72nd in points.
The American was attempting to make the playoffs for the first time since he underwent surgery for a brain lesion in 2023.
Germany's Matti Schmid began the regular-season finale sitting 70th in the points standings, and finished exactly where he started after tying for 31st in the tournament.
Chris Kirk was the only player to climb in from outside the top 70. He tied for fifth at 14 under with four rounds in the 60s, which was enough to boost him from 73rd entering the week to 61st.
The one player who lost his spot was South Korea's Byeong Hun An, who missed the cut at the Wyndham and dropped from 69th to 74th in points.
Defending FedEx Cup champion Scottie Scheffler holds a large lead over Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy as the top 70 players head to the FedEx St Jude Championship this week in Memphis, Tennessee.
The next number to watch is No.50, because only the top 50 after Memphis will advance to the second leg of the playoffs.
Australia's Lee holds 50th spot, with notable players currently on the outside including Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas (No.56) and Americans Tony Finau (No.60) and Rickie Fowler (No.64).
