Saturday morning at the 2025 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, began with a few lingering showers as players returned to Sedgefield Country Club to finish their second round. But by late morning, the radar over Greensboro had cleared significantly. Winds were light, and the course, still soaked from Friday’s storm, was playable again. But that’s hardly relevant. Three players had already withdrawn mid‑tournament, and then two more followed their lead. 

• Erik van Rooyen, struggling with persistent back pain, followed a first-round 73 by pulling out during his second round; notably, he decided to tap out just 10 minutes after play was suspended due to dangerous weather. His decision carried added weight, as he was sitting just inside the FedExCup Playoff cut line at No. 68, meaning even a modest finish might have secured his postseason spot.
• Isaiah Salinda, who had momentum, was +3 after Round 1 and had clawed back to even par through 14 when he unexpectedly withdrew.
• Akshay Bhatia had opened with a solid 68 but then collapsed in his second round, deciding to leave the course while sitting at +5 through 14 holes.
  
  Their exits raised eyebrows—especially as play had been suspended Friday afternoon because a severe thunderstorm swept across Greensboro around 4:32 p.m. ET, halting action for 78 players

Then came two more unexpected withdrawals, confirmed by PGA Tour Communications on X. Aaron Wise became the fourth player to miss the cut during Round 2, after just 10 holes and sitting at +1; he chose not to continue. No official reason was provided, though speculation pointed to either mental‑health factors (given his history) or worsening playing conditions. Shortly after, came the most surprising name:

Tom Kim. The 23-year-old South Korean phenom was making his first competitive appearance since mid‑2024 after spending months recovering from an ankle injury. With the pressure of a comeback and FedExCup implications hanging over him, he needed at least a solo third-place finish to crack the top 70 and qualify for the playoffs. But Friday’s storm may have tipped the scales toward caution. Whether his ankle flared up or his team made a preventative decision, the result was the same: he was out. In the aftermath of Friday’s chaos, tournament officials wasted no time reworking the schedule.

With significant ground to make up, they announced that Sunday’s final round would begin with split threesomes off both tees, a format typically reserved for weather-compromised events, designed to speed up play without sacrificing fairness. The good news? 

The skies finally seem to be cooperating. Saturday dried out considerably, and Sunday’s forecast is shaping up to be ideal. AccuWeather and tournament officials project clear skies, mid-80s temperatures, and calm breezes below 10 mph, a sharp turnaround from the thunderstorms that flipped Friday’s leaderboard on its head. Some analysts even dubbed it “moving day delayed,” suggesting Saturday’s momentum swings could stretch well into Sunday. For players hovering around the playoff bubble, the weather window is a lifeline. 

This is the last regular-season event before the FedExCup Playoffs, and only the top 70 in the standings will advance. Every shot at Sedgefield now carries career-altering implications, especially for players like Patrick Rodgers, who surged with a 63 to reach 7, and Joel Dahmen, who fired a course-record 61 on Thursday and remains in the mix.

Up top, the margin is razor thin. Cameron Young holds the lead at –14, fueled by a near-61 in Round 2 before Friday’s suspension. Defending champion Aaron Rai trails by one at –13, while Sungjae Im and rising rookie Mac Meissner are right behind at –12. With playoff spots on the line, a congested leaderboard, and clear skies finally overhead, Sunday is shaping up to be one of the season’s most consequential finishes.
