British Aaron Rai: Akshay Bhatia will seek to improve his position from the current 46th on the FedExCup points list, while for Sahith Theegala, who came back to action last week at the Open, the 3M Open is one of the last two chances to make the big jump into the Top-70 for the 2025 Playoffs.

Bhatia is 46th on the list and 38th in the world. Theegala is 50th in the world ranking. While Bhatia and Theegala have full status for the Tour because they made the Top-30 Tour Championship in 2024, they are seeking a better ranking to get into the $ 20M Signature events next season.

Theegala also plans to play a lot of Fall Season events after the Playoffs. For now, Theegala needs something like a win or a Top-3 in both events to have a chance to squeeze into the Play-offs.
