The FedEx Cup fall season event will conclude this week with the competition of the 2023 RSM Classic. Golfers finishing in the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings will only retain their PGA Tour for the upcoming season.

The RSM Classic is the only hope for the players to get inside the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings and retain their card for 2024. Players ranked between 116 and 135 can witness a change in their ranking following the 2023 RSM Classic.

Here is a list of the players who are at risk of losing their PGA Tour card in 2024:

  • 116: Gary Woodland
  • 117: Ben Martin
  • 118: Nico Echavarria
  • 119: Chad Ramey
  • 120: Carl Yuan
  • 121: Maverick McNealy
  • 122: Peter Malnati
  • 123: Matti Schmid
  • 124: Andrew Novak
  • 125: Doug Ghim
  • 126: Troy Merritt
  • 127: Henrik Norlander
  • 128: Ryan Moore
  • 129: Patton Kizzire
  • 130: C.T. Pan
  • 131: Ryan Palmer
  • 132: Zecheng Dou
  • 133: Austin Smotherman
  • 134: Kramer Hickok
  • 135: Scott Piercy

The golfers, who will finish in the top 126-150 in the FedEx Cup standings, can still compete in some PGA Tour events next year, while players finishing outside the top 150 will be at high risk of losing their card.


2023 FedEx Cup standings

Currently, Viktor Hovland sits in the top position of the 2023 FedEx Cup standings followed by Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark.

Hovland has had an amazing season on the PGA Tour. He won two back-to-back season-ending tournaments, the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship.

Golfers finishing in the 51-60 on FedEx Cup fall season points will qualify for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament and The Genesis Invitational, while the top 125 will earn the PGA Tour cards.
