After 18 holes in St. Simons Island, Georgia, the intensity is ratcheted up that much more. This week is the Last Chance Saloon in many respects. It's the last chance to get a win in 2025. It's the last chance to make a cut and therefore enjoy a payday.
And it's the last chance for those not already exempt in 2026 to get in (or stay in) the top 100 for a PGA Tour card next year.
