The PGA Tour’s regular season ends today with the final round of the Wyndham Championship and there is so much on the line for so many players as the top 125 players in the FedEx Cup standings will advance to the playoffs and those who are at 126 or higher will not.
There are huge career implications for the guys who finish 126 or higher. Some can lose their PGA Tour cards and have to fight to regain them at the Korn Ferry Tour championship. Others will lose out on how many events they are guaranteed to play in next season.
It’s a lot.
And it was a lot for one player, Chesson Hadley, who is right on the edge of that 125 number after firing a 62 on Sunday and also getting his first hole-in-one of his life on the the 16th hole.
He gave this incredible interview after his round. It’s a much-watch interview:
"It's emotional because I care. I'm not just out here for fun. This is my job and I love it."

Man. That was so impressive.
How he celebrated his hole-in-one was great, too:
Go crazy, @ChessonHadley! 😂
His first ace on TOUR deserves this level of celebration. pic.twitter.com/6H07IyHcQP
