Battle of the Realms for Career Survival at PGA Tour Soale Seale

While the tour’s championship ended back in August with Tommy Fleetwood taking the crown, the PGA Tour’s timing has been rocky with FedEx Fall. Des out of the top 50 in FedEx storage rates

This week’s RSM represents the last event of the FedEx Fall, and, therefore, the last opportunity for the pros to secure their PGA status in 2026. While the stars were always at home, the numbers couldn’t be much higher for the players on the field.

Here’s the best of the best playing this week’s RSM Classic.

Top 100 standings: The full PGA standings for 2026

The most important thing for many players in the RSM Classic is to finish the tournament within the top 100 rankings of the FedEx Fall. In doing so, they earned full PGA status for the 2026 season.

That means they automatically get entry into every PGA Tour event and The Players Championship in March. While players finishing from 61-100 do not receive spots in next year’s signature events, they may still be able to play their way into that meet by performing well in other eligible events.

Adam Schenk became the latest Pro to make the jump inside 100 on a motive tour at the Vettunda Championship (while putting in one hand). The victory launched Schenkk from 134th to 61st in the FedEx Fall standings.

Schenkk’s tour card is now secured through 2026, but he’ll be playing something else at RSM, which we’ll get into below.

Here are the top 100 bubble players in the field at the RSM Classic (* already exempt in 2026): Ryony Walker (99), Michael Walner (99), Takumi Kanaya (102), Matt Wallace (103), Isaya Salinda (104), David Lipsky (105), Victor Perez (108), Patrick Fishburn (109), Pieleron Coody (110)

60-51: Signs of a signature event

As mentioned earlier, Schenk and other players comfortably inside the top 100 will still have a lot of play this week: reaching signature events.

All the pros who finished the FedEx Cufp Playoffs in the Pop 50 are guaranteed a spot in all 2026 signature events, featuring limited fields, big purses and FedEx Cup points.

Players who finish the RSM Classic ranked 51-60 qualify for the next AON 10

Here are the 60-51 bubble players in the RSM Classic FIELD: Chris Kirk (54), Rico Hoey (52), Stephan Jadsmith (66), Adam Schenk (67), Mackenzie Hughes (69) and Steven Fusk (70).

Out of 100: PGA Status TOULATS TOUTH, Q-School Finale

Players who finish the RSM Classic outside the top 100 in the FedEx Fall Finale have a strong road to defending their status. All players ranked below 101-150 will have various rankings on the PGA TOUR for 2026, as well as full status on the Korn Ferry Tour.
