Golfer's Optimism: Castillo & Hodges Eye PGA Tour Future
24 Nov
Summary
- Castillo and Hodges finished FedExCup Fall at 102 and 101.
- Neither golfer secured their PGA Tour card for the upcoming season.
- The RSM Classic concluded the PGA Tour's 2025 FedExCup Fall.
The 2025 FedExCup Fall concluded with the RSM Classic, leaving players like Ricky Castillo and Lee Hodges in a position of conditional status. Castillo finished 102nd and Hodges 101st in the FedExCup standings, indicating they did not fully secure their PGA Tour cards for the upcoming season.
Despite this, both golfers expressed optimism about their future prospects on tour. Their current standing grants them conditional status, which should provide opportunities in open-field events, though subject to reshuffles and priority rankings. This contrasts with players finishing in the top 50, who earn fully exempt status and entry into signature events.
The PGA Tour's eligibility system for 2026 offers various pathways. Players from 151-175 will have prioritized Korn Ferry Tour status. Additionally, the top 40 available players outside the top 100 on the final points list will qualify for the final stage of PGA Tour Q-School.
