No rest for the weary. Or for those chasing a 2025 PGA Tour card.
After battling high winds and a four-hour delay Friday at the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open, the field at TPC Summerlin wasn’t sliced by the cut till Saturday. The third round didn’t end till Sunday, and it was a sprint to the finish at TPC Summerlin.
Of the 132 golfers who started their week in Vegas, 45 of them are also scheduled to play in the 2024 Zozo Championship in Chiba, Japan, starting Thursday. Of those 45, 30 made the cut at the Shriners, which meant collecting a paycheck, but it also meant not getting a flight out till Sunday night. For those lucky enough to book a direct flight from Vegas to Chiba, that’s about 12 hours in the air.
There will be some groggy golfers come Thursday, but there’s no time off for those looking to finish in the top 125 to secure their playing privlege for next season.
