Séamus Power fell short in his bid to secure a full PGA Tour card for 2026 at the RSM Classic in Georgia. The Waterford man ended up tied for eighth on 18-under, a finish which was only good enough for a jump to 117th in the FedExCup Fall standings. Power needed to breach the top 100 to retain exempt status for next season. 

Finishing in the top 125 does at least grant him conditional PGA Tour status. There is one more opportunity to earn full status for next year. Cards are on offer to the top five finishers at Q-School, which takes place at TPC Sawgrass’ Dye’s Valley Course and Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida from December 11 - 14.
