The players best placed to follow in the footsteps of Matthieu Pavon or Robert MacIntyre on the PGA Tour next year

Like last year, ten players will be awarded playing rights on the PGA Tour at the end of the last tournament of the season in Dubai in a little over a week. A key to a new life that everyone dreams of enjoying.

No one forgot last year how Matthieu Pavon went to grab fifth place in the DP World Tour Championship. Four birdies on the last four holes means the last ticket to progress on the PGA Tour.

The rest, we know it! A top 10 in Hawaii for his first tournament of the season, a historic victory two weeks later at Torrey Pines, followed by a podium at Pebble Beach.

With his 5th place at the US Open and his qualification for the three tournaments of FedEx Cup Playoffsthe Bordeaux region has entered another dimension.

A path that most of the players in the current top 20 of the league dream of taking. Race to Dubai and therefore in a position to grab one of the ten playing rights rewarding the ten best (not already qualified for the 2025 PGA Tour season).
