Nice start to the season for Burgoon on the KF, as he finished 16th in the Bahamas this week

Nacho and Veerman teeing it up in Dubai this week

Phillips in Hawaii at the Sony Open

Really hope Bennett can get it together.

Does he have any status anywhere?

He will have status on PGA Tour Americas, which basically spends the first half of the season in South America (and a tournament in Mexico) and the second half in largely in Canada (with a couple of stops in the US), then finishes the season in the DR.

I could be wrong, but I think Palmer no longer has status on the PGA Tour. He used his career money exemption last year. He's 49, so he'll be moving to the Champions Tour next year. I wonder if he just decides to take some sponsor exemptions in the Texas tournaments and takes it easy for a year, or if he tries to play Monday qualifers.

Monday qualifying is rough. I'd say he does the Texas events with some sponsor invites (Colonial and Dallas for sure) and then Champions Tour next year.

Nacho tied for the lead after two rounds in Dubai, playing with Shane Lowry in the 3rd round.

Dani Rodrigues is also on the DP World Tour this year.

So is Nacho in all the majors now?

Doesn't look like it. Just a lot of ammo to smack talk Rory and Shane.

Key Benefits of Winning:

• DP World Tour Exemption: The winner receives a two-season exemption, meaning they are fully exempt (guaranteed entry) into most DP World Tour events for two years.
• Race to Dubai Points: A substantial amount of Race to Dubai points (e.g., 500 in 2026) are awarded, placing the winner high in the season-long rankings.
• OWGR Points: Significant Official World Golf Ranking points are earned, boosting the player's global standing.
• Financial Reward: A large share of the tournament purse, with the winner taking home a significant portion (e.g., $465,000 in 2026).

What it's NOT (Typically):

• It's not usually a direct exemption into specific major championships (like the Masters or The Open) unless the player qualifies through other means or specific tournament bonuses (like the Investec South African Open offering Masters/Open spots).

Too bad it wasn't next week. Hopefully he can carry some momentum.

Nacho birdied 17th to enter into a tie for the lead with Shane Lowry who was playing the 18th. Lowry's greenside bunker shot on 18th went into the water and resulted with a double. Nacho finished with an easy par for the win.

Massive Win

Phillips ended up tied for 19th at Sony

Korn Ferry Tour just incase someone was confused.

- Nice finish for Cam on the KF this week in the Bahamas
- Pavan and Veerman off to a good start in Dubai, both -3
- Phillips is in California for the American Express

Globetrotter Fat Pat wins in Dubai. Rory must have determined the tournament wasn't important enough for true pros to try for the win.
