Four Australians maintained their status on the PGA Tour for 2025, although none are certain to make it all the way through the playoffs to the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Jason Day fell short in his quest for an Olympic medal in Paris but in the US, young Australian Karl Vilips claimed his first Korn Ferry Tour victory in just his fourth start as a professional at the Utah Championship.
