Last event of the PGA Tour year.
Last chance to win.
Last chance to move into one of the No. 51-60 spots in the season-long points race. That gets you into the first two big-money Signature Events next year.
Last chance to move into the top 125 in the season-long points race. That secures you a Tour card for next year. And the freedom to mostly pick your schedule.
Last chance to move into the top 150 in the season-long points race. That secures you a Tour conditional card. And the ability to play some events.
Last chance to avoid falling below 150. And golfing limbo.
Whew.
This week’s RSM Classic is both a physical and mental grind for some, and Tano Goya knows it. It’s the 35-year-old’s rookie campaign, and he was at 164 in the standings entering the week. So a reporter wondered on Saturday, on what could be his penultimate day:
How ya feeling?
Not bad actually.
“Because I want to enjoy it,” Goya said. “I want to enjoy all the round tomorrow as well. If it has to be, it will be. I will give my best and I give it 100 percent, but if I don’t, I still go with Q-School and have my chances there.
“Again, I feel like just one week that can change everything and I’m not going to stop believing in myself or give up because I didn’t have a great season.”
With that, here are the money payouts for the RSM Classic. The total purse is $8.4 million. Golf Channel coverage of the final round starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
