PGA Tour approves reduction to 100 players keeping cards off FedEx Cup list
Doug Ferguson, Associated Press | Posted Nov. 18 - 5:41 p.m. | Save Story
The PGA Tour board has approved sweeping changes to eligibility that wipes out 25 cards starting in 2026. Instead of the top 125 in the FedEx Cup keeping full status, that number will be reduced to 100. Cards for Korn Ferry Tour players are being reduced to 20 cards instead of 30. There's still 10 cards for leading European tour players not already exempt and five from Q-school. The change is mainly about making a PGA Tour card mean something. The tour membership had become bloated to the point that even players earning cards didn't get into as many events.

English golfer Tyrrell Hatton has snapped a club in two and was heard audibly cursing after shots during his third round at the World Tour Championship in Dubai, during which he missed a par putt from inside two feet.

That's a terrible influence on the next generation." Hatton started the third round one shot off the lead at the season-ending tournament on the European tour.
