World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will not play in the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, from August 6 to 9. The tournament is the final regular-season event on the 2026 PGA Tour calendar. Scheffler has already secured the top spot in the FedExCup standings and qualified for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, so he does not need extra points to reach the playoffs. Hindustan Times reports that the 30-year-old’s absence is a planned rest period, not the result of an injury or setback. The break is intended to help him recover and prepare for the FedExCup Playoffs after a demanding season.
