PGA Tour : Butterfield Bermuda Championship Leaderboard
Sunday on the windy Port Royal GC in Bermuda will certainly be the most impactful of Adam Hadwin's 2025 season.
Down and out ranked #147, playing poorly in this Fall season, he missed his first 3 cuts, he suddenly found his game for a few holes last week, and now this week 65 66 saw him leading and on Saturday he kept his game together, par 71 and with his season on the line he is T3 -11 just one shot off the lead -12.
Adam Schenk is at #138 T1 without a win in 242 starts, Braden Thornberry at #178 T1 are in the same boat as Adam, heading for Q School with demotion to the Korn Ferry Tour was in their cards, until today, a win solves all their problems.
Particularly galling for Hadwin after 10 years on Tour, inside the top 50 last year he played all the big events, golf can be a cruel mistress at times.
However a T2 may still get him into the top 100, with a final week to come at RSM, he has a legit shot, something he did not have last Thursday. As he stands this morning he is projected to move up 16 spots to #131, so he needs to improve on that.
The top 100 get Tour cards, 125 get some conditional PGA Tour status, mixed in with Korn Ferry Tour status.
Final Stage at Q School this year awards only 5 PGA Tour cards, if there are ties, they will have to playoff.
A final point, playing in the wind has made scoring difficult, a bogey free round will keep Adam in contention, making a few more putts will make all the difference.
