Max McGrevy’s impressive performance at the RSM Classic earned him a runner-up finish, securing a spot in the AON Next 10 and the first two signature events of 2026. With a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th green, McGrevy showcased his skill. But it wasn’t enough to dethrone Sammy Valamaki, Finland’s first PGA Tour winner. Despite Valamaki’s victory, McGrevy’s second place finish propelled him up the FedEx Cup rankings from 89th to 60th. This achievement granted him entry into the prestigious AT&T Pebble Beach ProAm and the Genesis Invitational. McGrevy’s newfound confidence is evident in his postround comments. He expressed surprise at his performance, stating, “I didn’t even think a second place would get in the top 60.” This belief shift has empowered him to compete with the best as he acknowledges. I think I can play with everybody out here. The AON Next 10 standings at the end of the 2025 FedEx Cup fall saw McGrevy secure the 60th spot alongside other talented golfers like Sammy Valamaki, Max Graaserman, and Garrick Higgo. Colombia’s Nico Echavvaria, who started the day five shots behind the lead, made a remarkable comeback with three consecutive birdies, securing his place in the top 60 and finishing T4. The RSM Classic also saw the rise of Stanford alumni Patrick Rogers and Michael Thorjornson, who despite back nine bogeies, managed to stay in the top 60 rankings. The event’s controversy revolves around the absence of notable players like Jordan Spe, Jake Knap, and Kevin Yu who chose not to compete. McGrevy, Bellamaki, and Etchavaria’s strong performances bumped these players out of the AON Next 10, sparking discussions about the tournament’s competitiveness and the impact of player availability.
