The First Cut is the Deepest ✂️
The 2026 FedEx Cup regular season is about to kick off. Thirty-seven events, including four majors, enjoy them all while you can because 2027 is certainly going to look (and feel) a whole lot different. Another subject for a different time, the Sony Open starts the festivities in Honolulu, Hawaii. For the 61st time, we head to Wai’alae Country Club on the southeast corner of O’ahu Island. A field of 120 players is competing for $9.1 million and a first-place check of $1.64 million. The top 65 and ties will have a chance to cash over the weekend. With the absence of The Sentry and an extended offseason, the push for points seems to occupy every player’s mind. The top 70 make the playoffs, the top 50 signature status, and the top 100 keep their card. Who knows what will happen next year, but this much is certain: it will continue to become more and more difficult to reach the elite level of the PGA TOUR.
