FootJoy HyperFlex golf shoes
But if you have seen JT play this season, you might have noticed that he's wearing golf shoes that are much more sporty and relaxed looking: FootJoy's updated HyperFlex.
Arriving in stores now, the FootJoy HyperFlex shoes ($180) are available in sizes 7 through 15 for men and 6 through 11 for women. The outsole features a combination of replaceable spikes and traction-enhancing lugs that help keep a golfer's feet stable throughout the swing, even on wet or muddy turf.
To enhance stability and help golfers maintain a solid base, FootJoy designed the HyperFlex with TruFit, a series of flexible pieces that extend up from the midsole and are secured by the lacing system. After putting your foot into the shoes, TruFit wraps around your foot and helps to increase lateral support, keeping your foot bonded to the shoe more effectively.
For golfers who want even more stability, FootJoy has a version of the HyperFlex coming in April called HyperFlex Carbon that features a carbon fiber plate in the sole that makes the bottom of the shoe more rigid when you swing.
To make walking 18 holes more comfortable, the HyperFlex has a midsole designed using StratoFoam, a lightweight material that provides cushioning. A plate designed in the midfoot also helps to return energy to your feet and propel you forward as you walk, making covering the course easier too.
The upper of the HyperFlex is made using FootJoy's ControlKNIT, a waterproof, spiral-wound material that is durable, breathable and easy to clean, yet repels water so effectively that the HyperFlex has a two-year waterproof warranty.

Who's in, who has work to do to make the top 70 for 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs?
The race is on to the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs. There are just four events left (two this week) over the next three weeks for players to stay or get inside the top 70. That's the new rule in 2025, only the top 70 players earn playoff spots. The three FedEx Cup Playoff events are the same: the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, the BMW Championship, played this year at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, and then the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, where a new format will be used this season. FedEx Cup stadings Nos. 1-5 Just a slight change at the top of the standings with Thomas and Henley flipping spots. Position Name 1 Scottie Scheffler 2 Rory McIlroy 3 Sepp Straka 4 Justin Thomas 5 Russell Henley FedEx Cup standings Nos. 26-30 Top 30 is actually the key place to be as only the top 30 advance to the Tour Championship. The last five in for the top 30 looks like this: Position Name 26 Daniel Berger 27 Sungjae Im 28 Ryan Fox 29 Brian Campbell 30 Jacob Bridgeman FedEx Cup standings Nos. 46-50 To make the second leg of the playoffs at the BMW, golfers need to be inside the top 50. Position Name 46 Bud Cauley 47 Joe Highsmith 48 Jordan Spieth 49 J.T. Poston 50 Max Greyserman FedEx Cup standings Nos. 61-70 But you can't make East Lake or the BMW if you don't first make it to Memphis for the St. Jude. Here's the last five in for a top-70 spot: Position Name 66 Matti Schmid 67 Emiliano Grillo 68 Davis Thompson 69 Eric Cole 70 Alex Smalley So that makes Smalley this week's bubble boy. He was No. 70 in the official rankings a week ago as well. FedEx Cup standings Nos. 71-75 And here's the first five out, with Rickie Fowler, playing in the Open Championship this week, the first one on the wrong side of the line. He was 68 a week ago. It's not an unfamiliar position for Fowler, who was hovering around the top 100 cutoff mark a year ago. He's 30 or so spots better this year but because of the reduction to 70, he's walking a fine line once again. Position Name 71 Rickie Fowler 72 Chris Kirk 73 Gary Woodland 74 Kevin Roy 75 Christiaan Bezuidenhout Movers up and down in the latest FedEx Cup Playoffs standings Like Fowler, Chris Kirk has slid from inside the top 70 to out. Kirk was 69th a week ago and now he's 72nd. With someone sliding out, someone else slides in and that someone this week is Matt Fitzpatrick, who went from 73rd to 60th in the standings after a tie for fourth at the Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday.

Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open
Justin Thomas Takes Bad News Following Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It hasn't been a standout golf season for Justin Thomas. The 32-year-old did grab his first win since 2022 back in April, taking down Andrew Novak at the RBC Heritage. Other than that, his year has been mostly average. In the four major tournaments, Thomas missed the cut twice. At the recent Open Championship, he made the cut but failed to finish inside the top 30. To make matters worse, Thomas has now slipped out of the top six in the FedEx Cup standings. He was sitting in sixth before the Open, but Harris English's strong runner-up finish vaulted him four spots up the rankings, pushing Thomas down to seventh. The entire Ryder Cup rankings can be found here: The top six players in the standings automatically qualify for the Ryder Cup. While there's still time for Thomas to climb back into that group, if he doesn't, his fate will be left to Team USA captain Keegan Bradley and his six captain's picks. Thomas was part of the 2023 Ryder Cup team that lost to Europe. He ranked 15th in points and 24th in the world heading into that event. It was his first Ryder Cup loss after victories in 2019 and 2021. In 2023, he went 1-2-1 and earned 1.5 points. Max Homa led the American side with 3.5 points. The top six players after the BMW Championship on August 17 will automatically qualify for Team USA. Scottie Scheffler has already secured a spot, with Xander Schauffele, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Bryson DeChambeau and Harris English currently rounding out the top six. Thomas has 10,208.09 points, trailing English, who sits at 10,385.65. Right behind Thomas is Collin Morikawa with 9,743.61 points. The next event on the 2025 PGA Tour is the 3M Open in Minnesota, running July 24–27. After that, the schedule includes the Wyndham Championship, FedEx St. Jude Championship and BMW Championship before the season wraps with the Tour Championship at East Lake.

FedExCup Playoffs: Who is sitting right on the bubble entering the 3M Open?
With the final major championship now in the books, only two weeks remain in the PGA Tour's regular season schedule. That's leaving limited time for those right on the bubble to earn a spot in the FedExCup Playoffs. The top 70 golfers in the FedExCup standings will earn entry into the FedEx St. Jude Championship next month, which marks the first of the Tour's three playoffs events. This is the third year of the Tour's new postseason system, which cut the field size down from 125 to 70 for the first playoff event. After the tournament in Memphis, the top 50 golfers will earn entry into the BMW Championship the following week. Those who make it into the BMW Championship will also earn automatic entry into the eight signature events on Tour next season. Then the top 30 will qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. That tournament is set to kick off on Aug. 21, and will feature a traditional start this season rather than the staggered starting strokes format it's used in the past. The 3M Open marks the first of two final chances for golfers right on the cusp to make a jump in the standings. Here's a look at who needs a big week at TPC Twin Cities outside of Minneapolis: FedExCup standings: Top 10 As of Monday, July 21 Position Name Points 1 Scottie Scheffler 4,806 2 Rory McIlroy 3,444 3 Sepp Straka 2,595 4 Russell Henley 2,391 5 Justin Thomas 2,280 6 Harris English 2,232 7 Ben Griffin 2,212 8 JJ Spaun 2,144 9 Tommy Fleetwood 1,738 10 Keegan Bradley 1,749 FedExCup standings: Just inside the bubble As of Monday, July 21 Rickie Fowler and Ben An are probably the biggest names in this group, and they're both in the field this week at the 3M Open. A solid finish here would undoubtedly take any stress out of next week, and allow them to shift their focus to the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Keith Mitchell, however, is just barely safe. He's got a two-point lead over Emiliano Grillo, so a big week is critical. Position Name Points 61 Kevin Yu 645 62 Erik van Rooyen 634 63 Rickie Fowler 632 64 Nico Echavarria 628 65 Cam Davis 616 66 Patrick Rodgers 616 67 Ben An 595 68 Matti Schmid 590 69 Nicolai Højgaard 590 70 Keith Mitchell 589 FedExCup standings: Outside looking in As of Monday, July 21 Emiliano Grillo is easily in the best position among this group, as he's just two points shy of catching Keith Mitchell. That's something he could easily do this week. Rasmus Højgaard is last on this list, and he has more than 100 points to climb. He, however, is not playing in Minneapolis. Position Name Points 71 Emiliano Grillo 587 72 Davis Thompson 552 73 Eric Cole 546 74 Alex Smalley 544 75 Christiaan Bezuidenhout 534 76 Kevin Roy 532 77 Chris Kirk 530 78 Gary Woodland 521 79 Ryo Hisatsune 504 80 Rasmus Højgaard 480
