With the PGA Tour's exemptions possibly changing in 2026, this fall could be the last chase for the top 125 in points.
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.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.

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 VegasJoe 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.
