PGA TOUR Champions concludes its regular season at the SAS Championship in Cary, North Carolina. Prestonwood Country Club will host the event for the 24th consecutive year.
Charles Schwab Cup leader and 2020 SAS Championship winner Ernie Els highlights the field and is one of six World Golf Hall of Fame members playing in Cary. Padraig Harrington, a 2024 inductee, and two-time SAS champion Bernhard Langer (2012, 2018) are among the others.
Each of the top four players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings will tee it up this week: No. 2 Steven Alker, No. 3 Stephen Ames and No. 4 Richard Green. At the conclusion of the SAS Championship, the top 72 players in the Charles Schwab Cup standings will advance to the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, which begin next week at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Virginia.
In 2023, Rod Pampling went wire-to-wire to win at Prestonwood Country Club. Pampling entered the day with a one-stroke lead and made it stand up with a tidy 5-under 67. He shot 66-68-67 to finish at 15-under par and earn his second win on PGA TOUR Champions.
