Get ready for an intense battle as we dive into the Cornferry Tour Championship where the stakes are incredibly high. The dream of securing a PGA Tour card for 2026 is within reach for the top 20 players, but the pressure is on. At the Pete Die course in French Lick, Indiana, six talented golfers are fighting to make their mark and secure their place among the elite. These bubble boys are poised for a final push, and their stories are nothing short of inspiring. But here’s where it gets controversial. Who will make the cut and who will fall just short? Let’s explore their journeys and the challenges they’ve overcome. Zetchang Do a Chinese prodigy’s comeback. Zeng Marty Doe, ranked 19th, is clinging to the last projected promotion spot. This young prodigy stormed the PGA Tour China Series in 2016, winning four times and claiming the Order of Merit title. He became the first mainland Chinese player to win on the Cornferry Tour, but his rookie season on the PGA Tour was challenging. Now, at 27, Do is showing renewed form, and a runner-up finish last week has him poised for a comeback. Can he secure his third return to the PGA Tour and become a trailblazer for Chinese golf? Sudashan Yelamaraju, an unconventional journey. Canada’s Sudashan Yelamaraju, ranked 20th, is on the cusp of his first PGA Tour card. His journey began in a Winnipeg Golf Dome at age 6 and he turned pro at 19. After a tough rookie season in 2024, he persevered and made it through all three stages of PGA Tour Q School. Now, this 24 year old is one step away from golf’s highest level. Can he keep his nerves in check and write his name in the history books? Mitchell Meisner, a family affair. Mitchell Meisner, ranked 21st, is just outside the promotion bubble. His story is one of resilience and a lastditch effort to save his career. After battling the putting yips in college, he switched to putting left-handed, a move that revived his confidence. Now he’s with striking distance of joining his younger brother, PGA Tour member Mesner, on the big stage. A top finish this week could rewrite the Meisner family’s golf legacy. Julian Suri, the journeyman’s comeback. Julian Sururi, a 34year-old New York native, is ranked 22nd and chasing his first PGA Tour card. He’s made a career out of comebacks and this week offers another chance. Suri’s journey has taken him across continents and tours, even serving as the official golf ambassador for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars. Can he channel his hometown team spirit and secure a top 12 finish which might just be enough to land him on the PGA Tour? Jeremy Gandon, the French Revelation. Jeremy Gandon, a cornfairy tour rookie, has been a revelation this season. The Frenchman captured his first tour title at the club car championship following in the footsteps of countryman nan Paul Barjon. With seven top 25 finishes, Gandon is on the brink of promotion. A top five result at French Lick could see him break through and secure his place on the PGA Tour, marking another milestone for French Golf. Justin Sa, a former world number one’s quest. Justin S, ranked 24th, knows what it takes to win this event. The former world amateur number one and 2022 cornferry tour player of the year is aiming for a return to the PGA Tour. S has endured injuries and setbacks since turning pro in 2019, but he regained his winning touch earlier this year. Can he replicate his dominant performance from two years ago and secure his spot on the PGA Tour once again? These golfers stories are a testament to the power of perseverance and the beauty of second chances. Who will emerge victorious and secure their PGA Tour card? The battle is on at the Cornferry Tour Championship.
