Some players have work to do to ensure themselves of a
PGA Tour card come 2024.
With only three events left in the FedEx Cup Fall,
numerous golfers will have to battle it out to remain inside
the top 125 in the FedEx Cup Standings to ensure they
keep their card for the 2024 season. The World Wide
Technology Championship, Butterfield Bermuda
Championship and RSM Classic could be the difference in
someone playing on the PGA Tour next year or losing
their card.
Plenty of FedEx Cup points remain up for grabs, and a win
could even vault someone into the 51-60 spot, which
earns spots in the first two signature events of 2024 at the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational.
Additionally, in a new change, players who finish 126-200
in the FedEx Cup Standings can accept full membership
on the DP World Tour.
Here’s a look at which PGA Tour pros have work to do to
retain their card for the 2024 season.
(Note: some golfers may be below the top 125 in the
standings but are exempt because of career
achievements.)
Erik van Rooyen
As it stands, van Rooyen is the last man in with three
events left, sitting at 125 in the standings. He played in the
first three fall events, finishing T-30, T-16 and T-23. A
couple more performances like that will solidify his spot to
retain his card next year.
Marty Dou
On the other side of the coin is Dou, who finished fourth in
the Korn Ferry Tour standings after the 2022 season and
earned his Tour card for a second time. He has missed
the cut in two of his three fall starts and moved outside of
the top 125 in the standings. To not lose his card a second
time, he’ll need a strong finish to the year.
Cameron Champ
The three-time PGA Tour winner has talked openly about
his mental health, and he was tied for the lead at the
Shriners Children’s Open after 36 holes in Las Vegas
before finishing T-18. He also finished T-9 at the
Sanderson Farms but sits 127th in the standings.
Jimmy Walker
Walker took a one-time earnings exception to have status
this year, and he sits 129th in the FedEx Cup Standings
with three events remaining. He played in the first three
fall events, finishing T-30, T-43 and MC. The 2016 PGA
Championship winner will need three solid weeks down
the stretch to keep his status.
Harry Higgs
The fan-favorite Higgs has struggled since the summer.
Sitting 137th in the standings, he has missed the cut in six
of his last seven starts, his one made weekend being a T-
68 finish at the Sanderson Farms.
Patton Kizzire
Kizzire, a two-time PGA Tour winner, is also just outside
the top 125 at 130. He has missed the cut in 14 of his 30
starts this season but has played the weekend in two fall
events.
Austin Smotherman
Thanks to the FedEx Cup Standings updating last season
after the departure of players defecting to LIV,
Smotherman retained his Tour card finishing 125th in the
standings. He’s 132nd in the standings but has missed the
cut in five of his last seven starts.
Carl Yuan
The top finisher on the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour points list is
133rd in the FedEx Cup Standings with three events left. A
T-6 at the Sanderson Farms Championship helped Yuan
make a big move up the standings, but more work
remains - Спорт
