For 10 straight seasons, Adam Hadwin was one of the most reliable players on the PGA Tour. A steady presence who always punched his ticket to the FedEx Cup playoffs. But then came 2025, a year that brought the Canadian veteran to a place he had never been before. By September, the 38-year-old found himself staring down the lowest point of his 11-year career and confronting the very real possibility of losing his PGA tour card. Now, Hadwin is opening up about the pain, acceptance, and determination that defined his very difficult year. Acceptance, Hadwin told reporters when asked how he was grappling with his slump. A bit of shock to the ego, not going to lie. And I think it might have hindered me a little bit through the season as I continued to struggle. I reached a point probably too late around July or August where I accepted where I was and just needed to battle through. Then he added the most important part. I I truly believe my best golf is still to come. Despite earning starts in all the signature events thanks to his top 50 finish a year earlier, Hadwin couldn’t find any consistency. His season highlights were few. A T9 at the WM Phoenix Open and AT12 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Beyond that, his year was riddled with missed cuts, including the Players Championship and his only major appearance, the PGA Championship. From August through October, he missed four cuts in a row. Hadwin has never been a superstar, and he never coasted a success, but he earned his reputation as one of the tour’s most reliable and often dryly hilarious competitors. That grit was back on display this week. At the Bermuda Butterfield Championship, Hadwin fired a brilliant six under 65 to take the first round lead, making seven birdies, including a masterful one on the demanding 235 yd 16th hole. It was a flash of the player he once was and still believes he can be. This wasn’t the first time he has spoken candidly about the downward spiral of his season. Back in September, he reflected on the harsh reality that he might be on the verge of returning to the corn ferry tour for the first time in a decade. Professionally, it has been a very difficult year, had one admitted, I’ve been used to a certain standard for a number of years, and this year hasn’t lived up to that. I’ve worked as hard as I ever have. It’s not a commitment issue. The hunger is still there, but I haven’t been able to produce, which has been difficult. Then came the line that summed up his entire fight. I’m not done. I’ll give it my all until it’s not good enough. It hasn’t helped that while Hadwin’s season spiraled, his fellow Canadians thrived. Nick Taylor won in Hawaii and finished top five at the PGA Championship. McKenzie Hughes reached a playoff in Myrtle Beach. They didn’t even need to tee it up this week. But Hadwin, he’s deep in the danger zone. Hadwin entered the week ranked 147th in the FedEx Cup fall standings. To keep his full PGA Tour card, he must finish inside the top 100. A huge leap and a career-defining challenge. His opening round 65 was a massive boost, but it won’t be nearly enough on its ow and t realistically secure his spot for 2026. Hadwin likely needs a win. A runner-up finish might get him there, but nothing less offers real security. The stakes couldn’t be higher. A finish outside the top 100 sends him back to the corn ferry tour. A tour he hasn’t played since he was a young pro still trying to break through. Even sponsor exemptions would only soften the blow, not solve it. But if Hadwin needed hope, he came to the right place. Port Royal Golf Course has become a sanctuary for last chance stories. In 2023, Camilo Viegas won here to end a 9-year drought and save his career. In 2024, Raphael Campos, who incredibly began his week ranked 147th, the exact number as Hadwin, one and kept his card. Even Sheamus Power, the 2022 champion, arrives this week in the same desperate fight. He started the event ranked 133 RD. Now it’s Hadwin’s turn to chase the miracle. There’s still a long way to go. 54 holes of pressure, risk, and opportunity. But for the first time all year, Adam Hadwin is seeing something he hasn’t seen in months. A path forward.
