Max McGreevy gives up title defense in Japan to make sure he gets PGA Tour card

Max McGreevy, a rising star in professional golf, has had an impressive fall season, culminating in securing his PGA Tour card for 2026. McGreevy, who left Oklahoma with five wins under his belt, has been a consistent performer despite the challenges of defending his titles. Last year, he secured his PGA Tour card with two victories on the Korn Ferry Tour and followed it up with a win at the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan, where he triumphed over a field that included Hideki Matsuyama. However, with his FedEx Cup ranking at No. 100 and only two tournaments left to secure his card, McGreevy faced a nail-biting finish to the season. His performance at the Bermuda Championship, where he tied for third, propelled him to No. 89 in the FedEx Cup standings, ensuring his place on the PGA Tour for the next season. McGreevy’s strategy of continuous play has paid off, as he believes he performs better when he keeps competing. This fall, he played six tournaments in seven weeks, traveling from Japan to Utah, Mexico, Bermuda, and Georgia, showcasing his resilience and determination. McGreevy’s journey is a testament to his grit and passion for the game, as he continues to make waves in the world of professional golf.
