2024 World Wide Technology Championship Full Field: Three Fall Events Remain

Time is running out to secure status next year on the PGA Tour, in what could be the last season of chasing 125 fully exempt spots.

The Tour was off last week after the Zozo Championship (won by Nico Echavarria) but not devoid of news, as 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.

That makes this FedEx Fall the potentially last chase around the top 125, a storyline at the end of so many Tour seasons. This week’s World Wide Technology Championship is the third-to-last chance to get inside the top 125 and secure one’s job for next season.

Matt Wallace is sitting at No. 125, but safe for next year by virtue of his 2023 win at the Corales Puntacana Championship. He hasn’t made any starts this fall. Joel Dahmen is just ahead of him by a fraction of a point at 124 (Dahmen has had an eventful fall; last month in Las Vegas he was penalized four shots for having a 15th club and went on to miss the cut), and will play in Mexico.

Joe Highsmith sits at No. 126, followed by Kevin Tway and Alejandro Tosti, and all three are in the 120-player field this week at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Cabo San Lucas. 

Erik van Rooyen returns as the defending champion, having shot 28 on the back nine Sunday a year ago including an eagle on the closing par-5 18th.
