Time is running out for players to earn status for 2025 on the PGA Tour.
This week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship is the second-to-last tournament of the FedEx Cup Fall, which is sorting out the top 125 for next year’s season as well as spots in the first two signature events (AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Genesis Invitational). This chase could be the last of its kind, as last month the the Tour’s Player Advisory Council proposed sweeping changes to reduce tournament fields and the number of exempt players.
If approved, the changes would take effect with the 2026 season and reduce the number of jobs—i.e., Tour cards. There are reductions in a number of exemption categories but the most recognizable one is the top 125 exemption, a mainstay for four decades, being reduced to the top 100 on the points list.
But for now, No. 125 in points is still golden and holding down that spot is Hayden Springer, fewer than five points ahead of Dylan Wu. Every player on the points list from No. 118 (Zac Blair) to No. 135 (Sam Ryder) is in the field this week with the exception of Matt Wallace, who is 130th in points but safe for next year thanks to his win at the 2023 Corales Puntacana Championship.Â
Kevin Yu is No. 60 in points and in the last spot to earn the two signature event starts early in 2025, but Nico Echavarria is within striking distance at No. 61. Both are in this field.
Camilo Villegas returns to defend his title at Port Royal Golf Course, a par-71 measuring 6,828 yards. The purse has increased slightly from a year ago, to $6.9 million with $1,242,000 to the winner.
