PGA Tour: The RSM Classic Tee Times
For the last month after Rory won his 7th Race to Dubai to officially wrap up the 2025 DP World Tour season, all I've been writing about is Canadians struggling/ triumphing at keeping their cards for the 2026 season.
After a poor season with just one top 10, Aaron Cockerill suddenly found his game his confidence and T2 at the Final stage of DP World Tour to regain his card for 2026 was a huge triumph under extreme stress.
Now on the PGA Tour we are left with 4 Canadians playing, three to keep their cards, one to improve his top 60 standing.
Last week Adam Hadwin led for 36 holes, T3 after 54 before a brutally windy day for golf in Bermuda he shot 75 to miss his chance, leaving him at #138 this final week, just hoping to get conditional status in the top 125.
Yesterday on a beautiful sunny, calm day on Sea Island in Georgia, a very exclusive holiday resort on the Atlantic, Hadwin was one of several to breath again after a very good -6 64 saw him squeak in to make the -7 cut.
"I was nervous coming in, got a little bit sloppy in the last 3 or 4 holes. Every point matters, every point counts. It's an extra guy I can jump ahead of, if I do end up with non event status, that maybe it's one more tournament I get into, it was just an important day to givve myself two more days, two more chances.
I've got two more days to try and go low, talk to me again then"
He needs a T2 to regain full status, something less to get into top 125.
Other Canadians;
Ben Silverman 64 68 -10 (#137) needs T2 for full status
Mac Hughes 67 68 -7 (#71)
Adam Svensson 67 71 -4 MC Season over will play Final Stage Q School December 7th.
Guys like Beau Hossler who's had his card since 2017, veteran Matt Kuchar since 2007, England's Matt Wallace at #102 made the weekend to try again,
Others like Joel Dahman who just welcomed their 2nd child, did not, while Japan's Takumi Kanaya #99 and American Danny Walker #97 who MC now wait at home to see if they are in or out.
The stakes are high, so is the pressure at this time of year. It could drive you crazy just thinking about a putt you missed in July, or the cuts you missed by a loose shot.
Just two more rounds...
