Despite missing the cut at last week’s 3M Open, Stephan Jaeger picked up eight spots in the playoff standings and became the new bubble boy for making the postseason.
The PGA Tour announced a new playoff eligibility list Tuesday, which removed players who were suspended for competing in LIV Golf events. Eight players – those who had not relinquished their Tour membership – were tossed and Jaeger moved from 133rd to 125th on the new list.
The 33-year-old is doing his part this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic to continue that positive trend, on his own merit.
