The race for the top 125—perhaps the last such race as the PGA Tour considers field and exemption changes—goes to Bermuda.
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 . This chase could be the last of its kind, as last month the the Tour’s Player Advisory CouncilIf approved, the changes would take effect with the 2026 season and reduce the number of jobs—i.e., Tour cards.
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 to No. 135 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.
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.John Schwarb is a senior editor for Sports Illustrated covering golf.
