A dramatic day at the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour has left some players futures hanging in the balance. With the pressure mounting, the cutline dropped to a record tying seven under, setting the stage for an intense battle to secure tour cards. Bo Hustler, currently ranked 103rd in the FedEx Cup, is fighting to maintain his full PGA Tour status. He started the day at two under and with a strong four under on the first nine holes managed to make the cut on the number. Hustler’s clutch birdie on the par 5/8 was a pivotal moment, but his approach shot on the ninth landed in a bunker, requiring a nervy up and down to secure his place. This is a critical juncture for the 30-year-old who hasn’t faced this situation since 2017. This season has been a real challenge, Hustler reflected. I’ve had some great moments, but I haven’t quite put it all together. I’ve had solid rounds, but not consistently. Another player on the edge is Canadian Adam Hadwin, who entered the week at 138th in the FedEx Cup. His six under 64 on the final day was enough to make the cut, but he knows he needs a strong finish to secure his tour card. Hadwin’s performance this year is a far cry from his impressive 2024 season where he finished in the top 50 and earned starts in all signature events. “I was definitely nervous coming in,” Hadwin admitted. “The last few holes were a bit sloppy, but every point counts. It’s about gaining an edge, even if it’s just one more tournament I can get into.” However, not everyone was able to secure their spot. FedEx Cup number 117 Joel Dammen found himself on the wrong side of the cutline. Domin, a one-time PGA Tour winner, earned his 2025 tour card in a dramatic fashion last year, but this time he fell two shots short with his mind potentially elsewhere after welcoming his second child with wife Lona over the weekend. Domin couldn’t quite find his rhythm. Every point matters, Hadwin added. It’s about giving myself two more days, two more chances. I’ll try to go low and see where that takes me. Other notable players include ninetime PGA Tour winner Matt Cooer, who is also at risk of losing his full-time status. Cooer, ranked 113th, made the cut on the number, but he knows the battle isn’t over yet. Takumi Kanaya and Danny Walker ranked 99th and 97th respectively also face an uncertain future while Matt Wallace at 102nd had a strong day to comfortably play the weekend. I believe I deserve to be out here. Wallace stated confidently. The fate of these players hangs in the balance and the coming days will determine who secures their tour cards and who faces an uncertain future. It’s a tense battle and the outcome will shape the careers of these talented golfers.
