2022 PGA Tour Fall winners, losers: Rory McIlroy commands the limelight, Scottie Scheffler grapples

The final swing season of the PGA Tour is complete after the 2022 RSM Classic. With the end of the fall swing, a number of players have thrived and a roster of players that…well, didn’t. While there are still representatives competing in the coming weeks on the DP World Tour, at the Hero World Challenge, QBE Shootout, The Match VII and the PNC Championship, a bow has been shortlisted on the PGA Tour for calendar year 2022. before the game resumes at the League of Champions in January.

This fall rotation is inherently different from the past as revisions to the PGA Tour’s upcoming schedule and knockout structure have increased the intensity. With only 70 players qualifying for the FedEx Cup Qualifiers and those outside the final magic number needing to jostle for spot, some see this time of year as a key time to secure a spot. secure their jobs.

“Harder,” says Joel Dahmen of the new structure. “I mean, with the new system that comes along if you play really well, now you’re in that top tier, now you’re on the PGA Tour, not the PGB tour. The current PGA Tour is really exciting. And it’s the best time I think is going to be on the Tour. Playing great takes you to the next level and it’s a great position.”

Dahmen was one of many who took advantage of his opportunity this fall. Competing in seven tournaments, the 35-year-old has won three top 10 finishes with several top 20 results. With his efforts, Dahmen enters 2023 with a 15th place finish. the FedEx Cup leaderboard and be in the driver’s seat to continue to make that coveted top 70.

While Dahmen won’t make the list of the top winners from the fall, he’s certainly joining the conversation and in a much better position than some of his colleagues, who will be discussed in a different light. Not all have been lucky enough to find their stride in the past few months and there will be ample opportunity to make up for it in 2023.
