WiretoWire: FedExCup Fall final leg continues in Mexico
3 Min Read
The sixth of eight FedExCup Fall events heads to Los Cabos, Mexico, for the World Wide Technology Championship. Valuable FedExCup points are up for grabs as the FedExCup Fall winds down, with players fighting for full status (top 125 in the FedExCup) and spots in the Aon Next 10 (Nos. 51-60 in FedExCup standings) that earn players starts in the first two Signature Events. The Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante will play host for the second time. The golf course, which opened in 2014, was the first course project completed by Woods’ TGR design firm and will serve as a pivotal test for players looking to boost their FedExCup ranking.
The Five: Assessing FedexCup Fall so far
Last week’s break in the PGA TOUR schedule offered one final breather before the final three events of the 2024 season, a potentially stressful time for those looking to stay in the top 125 of the FedExCup standings. Players will look to use these final three events to jockey for spots in two of next year’s Signature Events. Our latest versions of “The Five” highlight players that have made the most of the FedExCup Fall so far, as well as players that have the most at stake for the final few events. Some players who’ve taken advantage of the Fall include Matt McCarty, who won in his second TOUR start at the inaugural Black Desert Championship and earned spots in first three majors of 2025, as well as THE PLAYERS and The Sentry. Also on the list is Gary Woodland, who finished T9 at the Shriners Children’s Open, his first top 10 since undergoing brain surgery last September. Players with the most at stake as the FedExCup Fall wraps up include Joel Dahmen, who sits at No. 124, and Daniel Berger who sits outside the 125 mark at No. 129.

“Golf is a cool thing where we kind of have that opportunity to reach out and help certain causes and it's just one that seemed important to me … I always kind of had them in the back of my mind as far as helping them out. And when I was made aware that I was part of that RSM Birdies Fore Love, it just made a lot of sense, and it was kind of a no-brainer for me.” – Eric Cole on why he donated his $50,000 RSM Birdies Fore Love bonus to The McDavid Group Charities.
