FedEx Cup Fall: McNealy's First Win and Dahmen's PGA Tour Card Drama
The PGA Tour concluded its 2024 season at the RSM Classic, where Maverick McNealy secured his first career victory. The former top-ranked amateur edged out three competitors by a single shot, marking a significant milestone in his career after consistent but not breakthrough performances on Tour.
Joel Dahmen notably finished at No. 124 in the FedEx Cup standings, dramatically securing his PGA Tour card for 2025 with a Sunday 64. This comes as particularly significant news, as starting in 2026, only the top 100 players will earn full-time PGA Tour status, down from the current 125.
Scottie Scheffler dominated the 2024 season, achieving seven wins - a feat unseen since Tiger Woods in 2007. His performance proved that Tiger-like dominance remains possible in modern golf, even against deep competition including multiple major winners.
On the LPGA Tour, Nelly Korda capped off an impressive seven-win season, while Jeeno Thitikul claimed victory at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. Korda's remarkable year included some inconsistencies but demonstrated her potential for continued dominance.
