Sheamus P’s quest for a 2026 PGA Tour card took an exciting turn at the RSM Classic, but the outcome left fans divided. Power, a talented golfer from Waterford, Ireland, was on the brink of securing his spot for next year’s tour. But here’s where it gets tricky. He needed a top tier finish to achieve his goal. Power began the tournament in 129th place in the FedEx fall standings, a precarious position for any golfer. The pressure was on as only the top 100 would secure a full PGA Tour card for 2026, while those in 101st to 125th place would receive a conditional card, allowing them to compete in approximately 20 tournaments. And this is where P’s story takes an unexpected twist. He delivered a stellar performance at the RSM Classic, tying for seventh place. This remarkable feat propelled him 12 spots up the FedEx Cup standings, landing him in a provisional 117th place. But was it enough? The final round at the seaside course was a nailbiter. Power starting the day tied for eighth began with a confident birdie on the par 4 first hole. He maintained his composure, adding another birdie on the par five seventh, but slipping slightly with a drop shot on the eighth, finishing the front nine at 34. As the round progressed, P’s determination shown through, he birdied the par 413th and the par 317th, signing off with an impressive 67, putting him at minus 18 for the tournament. However, it wasn’t quite enough to catch the leader, Sammy Valimaki of Finland, who finished five strokes ahead. Despite falling short of a full tour card, P’s rise in the FedEx fall standings is a testament to his resilience. Starting November in 145th place, he fought his way up the rankings, but the question remains, will a conditional card be sufficient for power to make his mark in the 2026 season? The RSM Classic also witnessed a thrilling battle for the top spot. Valamaki, the eventual winner, birdied the par 515th to break away from Max McGrevy, who had set an early pace with a seven under 63. Valamaki’s victory earned him a two-year exemption on tour and a massive leap from 74th to 51st in the FedEx Cup fall point standings, securing his place in the first two signature events of 2026. McGrevy’s impressive Sunday surge into second place was not in vain as it was projected to boost him to 60th in the standings. Meanwhile, Ricky Castillo’s final round 62 rocketed him to third place, but he narrowly missed the top 100, finishing 102nd in the points race. As the dust settles on the RSM Classic, the golf world is a buzz with P’s future prospects. Will he be a force to be reckoned with in 2026? Only time will tell. What do you think?
