Sammy Valimoki’s perseverance paid off as he secured his first PGA Tour victory, becoming Finland’s first champion. The RSM Classic, the final event of the year, saw Valimoki’s steady performance culminate in a 4under 66, earning him a one-shot lead. This triumph, however, was not without drama. The top 100 players in the FedEx Cup standings secured full PGA Tour cards for the 2026 season with smaller fields expected. Valimoki, a two-time DP World Tour winner, finished 51st in the FedEx Cup, ensuring his participation in the first two $20 million signature events of 2026. His journey to this success was challenging, marked by two runner-up finishes in the previous two seasons. The competition was fierce with Ricky Costillio and Max McGrevy both vying for top spots. Costillio’s 28 on the front nine and 62 closing score seemed promising but McGrevy’s 30oot birdie part on the final hole secured his second place pushing Costillio to 100 second. Lee Hodes narrowly missing a 10-ft birdie finished just outside the top 100. The RSM Classics conclusion saw the top 100 players remain unchanged with Valimoki’s triumph providing a memorable conclusion to the season. His achievement not only secures his future in the PGA Tour but also highlights the intense competition and the dramatic final moments that define such sporting events.
