The PGA Tour’s fall season starts this week in Napa, Calif., for the Procore Championship at Silverado Resort. Although it is the start, the whole focus will be on the 10 U.S. Ryder Cup players participating, looking to remain fresh and in form for the matches in two weeks at Bethpage Black in New York.
Those from Keegan Bradley’s team playing are World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Russell Henley, Justin Thomas, J.J. Spaun, Collin Morikawa, Harris English, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns. Only Bryson DeChambeau, who is ineligible because he plays LIV Golf, and Xander Schauffele are not playing. Schauffele just announced that he and his wife had their first child, a boy named Victor.
They’ll all be playing for the $6 million overall purse with the winner taking home $1.08 million for a victory.

Having Scheffler play, among the others, is a big get for the event. The Texas dominated the season on tour with 14 straight top-eight finishes and five victories, including at the PGA Championship and British Open. He will, of course, easily be named the tour’s player of the year, topping Rory McIlroy, who captured the career Grand Slam at the Masters.
That’s the tournament within the tournament. Elsewhere, everyone else is playing for exempt status in 2026. Those who finished Nos. 51-70 in the FedEx standings have clinched status for next year but are competing for spots in the first two signature events of the year. Those from 71 on can earn on of 10 spots in those signature events but are also trying to stay inside the top 100 at the end of the fall events. At that time, those who rank from 101-125 will have conditional status for next year and, of course, can go to Q-School to try to improve that status.
Patton Kizzire won last year’s event and won by five shots. However, he missed 13 cuts in 21 starts this season. Jackson Koivun, the world’s No. 1 ranked amateur, is in the field fresh off a U.S. team victory at the Walker Cup last week at Cypress Point.
Here’s the rundown of what each player will earn this week who makes the cut. Check back here Sunday after play is complete for updates.
