Viktor Hovland needed a T2 or better finish at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina this weekend to earn his 2019-20 PGA Tour card. He finished solo fourth, two strokes back of second.
There’s way too much math involved, but Hovland — a current non-member of the PGA Tour — needed to match this year’s No. 125 golfer in terms of FedEx Cup points. That golfer is Pat Perez, who had 376 FedEx Cup points. Hovland ended this season a handful of points short of that in just five starts as a pro on the PGA Tour.
