The Stakes Are High for PGA Tour Players
As the FedEx Cup Fall season nears its end, PGA Tour players find themselves in a high-stakes battle to secure their playing cards for the 2024 season. With only three events remaining, the World Wide Technology Championship, Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and RSM Classic, every shot counts for those on the bubble.
The Importance of Making the Top 125
The top 125 players in the FedEx Cup Standings at the end of the season will retain their PGA Tour cards for the following year. Falling outside this cutoff means players will have to fight their way back through other means, such as the Korn Ferry Tour or sponsor exemptions.
Opportunities for a Last-Ditch Effort
Despite the pressure, there is still hope for players outside the top 125. Plenty of FedEx Cup points are up for grabs in the remaining events, and a strong performance could propel them into the coveted 51-60 spot. This range guarantees entry into the first two signature events of 2024: the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
A New Path for Players Outside the Top 125
In an exciting change, players finishing between 126-200 in the FedEx Cup Standings now have an alternative option. They can accept full membership on the DP World Tour, providing them with opportunities to compete and earn their way back onto the PGA Tour.
Players on the Bubble
Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the notable players who are currently fighting to retain their PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season:
(Note: Some players may currently be below the top 125 in the standings but are exempt due to their career achievements.)
By keeping a close eye on the performance of these players in the upcoming World Wide Technology Championship, Butterfield Bermuda Championship, and RSM Classic, golf fans will witness the intense battle for a spot in the top 125. The fate of these players hangs in the balance as they strive to secure their place on the PGA Tour for the 2024 season.
