The 2024 PGA Tour calendar concluded with the RSM Classic, where players competed for spots in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup Fall to secure full playing privileges for 2025. Several notable players missed the cut, losing their PGA Tour cards. Here are the key players affected:

Francesco Molinari

• 2018 Open Champion
• Played 15 events without a top 10 finish
• Finished outside top 190 in FedEx Cup standings
• Form has declined since 2019 Masters

Jimmy Walker

• 2017 PGA Champion
• Recently focused on European events
• Found success at Irish Open and Spanish Open with top 15 finishes
• Limited PGA Tour access for 2025

Zac Blair

• Entered final week at 123rd in standings
• Missed cut by one shot at RSM Classic
• Lost card due to other players passing him over weekend

Wesley Bryan

• Popular golf YouTuber
• Missed cut at RSM Classic by one shot

Parker and Pierceson Coody

• Both rookies had early season success
• Parker: Top 10 at Corales Punta Cana
• Pierceson: Nearly won ISCO Championship
• Pierceson retains conditional status
• Parker heads to Q-School or Korn Ferry Tour

The 2025 PGA Tour season will offer only 100 fully exempt spots for 2026, making the loss of status even more significant as access becomes more limited. While these players can still compete in some Tour events, securing starts will be significantly more challenging.
