The FedEx Cup Fall is an eight event mini-season aimed at players who are attempting to secure their PGA Tour cards by finishing in the top-125 on the money list or vying to crack the top-60 which would qualify them for two signature events in 2025.
132 golfers will tee off today, with half starting on the 10th hole, with 500 FedEx Cup Fall points and a prize purse of $7.5 million up for grabs.
Among the favorites this week are Keith Mitchell, Seamus Power, Beau Hossler, and Kurt Kitayama none of whom have collected a win in 2024 though Hossler finished second in last week’s Sanderson Farms Championship after losing to Kevin You in a playoff.
Eight-time PGA Tour winner and 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir, who played collegiately at BYU, and currently lives in Park City, Utah is in the field this week along with 2009 U.S. Open Champion Lucas Glover, and and three players who have PGA Tour wins in 2024 including Stephan Jaeger, Patton Kizzire, and Nick Taylor.
