Scott closed with a seven-under final-round 63 to tie for seventh with countryman Cam Davis as Lucas Glover scored a two-shot win over fellow American Russell Henley.

Scott wound up in 72nd position in the season-long FedExCup points standings, with only the top-70 players progressing to the $US75 million Playoffs.

The former World No.1 and American veteran Matt Kuchar had the distinction of being the only two players to have qualified for the playoffs every year since their inception in 2007.

Now Kuchar is the last man standing after making it once more.

“I think I'm actually getting to the point where, you know, I've got to put that stuff aside and, you know, not play to keep a streak of playing Playoffs going but play to win stuff, not just be there to make the numbers up,” Scott said after his round waiting to learn his fate.

“So if it does end, I think it's a good thing. I think it gives me a good chance to have a look at what I need to do differently to be more competitive in whatever competition I'm playing in.”

Davis and revitalised former World No.1 Jason Day are the only two Australians who will feature this year.

Day had already secured his entry before sitting out the final event of the regular season, while Davis's final round 66 was enough for the Sydneysider to climb from 69th to 62nd in the standings.

“I didn't look at the leaderboard all week, I didn't know where I stood projection-wise, I just wanted to finish off the tournament and I knew where I finished today should be plenty,” Davis said.

Scott wasn't the biggest name to miss out.

Two-time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas fell short by one spot after sharing 11th at the Wyndham Championship at 11-under, one stroke behind Scott and Davis.

Glover won at 20-under after closing with a 68 at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, with Henley (69) sharing second at 18-under with Korean Byeong Hun An (67).

Third-round leader Billy Horschel faltered with a Sunday 72 to finish fourth at 16-under.
