There are just six weeks remaining before the start of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup and now is the time players need to be making moves to qualify for the 125-man field at The Barclays.

Six players made their way into the top 125 last week at the John Deere Classic, highlighted by 36-hole leader Chez Reavie who tied for 5th and jumped from 126th to 94th in the latest FedExCup standings.

TOUR rookie Matt McQuillan, who earned his card via q-school last year, made his first cut since January this week and finished third at the John Deere Classic. With that finish, he jumped 78 spots to 155th in the standings. He now sits just 109 points from the 125th position. Also making a big move was McQuillan's fellow q-school graduate Kyle Stanley, who finished as a runner-up to Steve Stricker at TPC Deere Run and moved inside the top 50.

With six players moving into the top 125, six players had to be bounced. Among them were Stephen Ames, and George McNeill, who will have a chance to get back in the playoff picture with good showings at this week's Viking Classic.

The following are the biggest movers -- up and down -- after the John Deere Classic. Players marked with a # are scheduled to play at this week's Viking Classic while players marked with an * are headed to Royal St. George's for the British Open.
