Steven Alker could clinch the Charles Schwab Cup before the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
The 51-year-old New Zealander is set to make his TimberTech Championship title defense in the second of three Charles Schwab Playoff events.
Alker has put together an all-time Cinderella story. In the summer of 2021, shortly after turning 50, he Monday qualified for the Boeing Classic and finished T-7 to get into the following event. He then recorded six straight top-10s before notching his maiden PGA Tour Champions win at the TimberTech Championship.
But he wasn't a one-hit-wonder. This year, Alker has four victories, 12 top-threes and 16 top-10s in 21 starts.
