Background
The FedEx Cup is the season-long points race run by the PGA Tour, the main professional golf organization in the United States. Players earn points in each tournament they play, and those points place them on a leaderboard. The leaderboard at the end of the regular season decides who qualifies for the playoffs, which lead to the season's championship.
The standings matter most for players whose tour cards depend on their position. In the most recent entry, Seamus Power was 103rd in the FedEx Cup Fall standings before the Bermuda Championship. The top 100 players in the standings earn PGA Tour cards for the next season, so a finish near that line carries real consequences.
Austin Smotherman, 32, won the Bermuda Championship on Monday by beating Seamus Power on the third extra hole of a sudden-death play-off. Smotherman's win was his second PGA Tour title and came in back-to-back starts after a win in Utah earlier this month. Power, the 2022 champion, finished as runner-up. His runner-up finish effectively guarantees him a PGA Tour card for 2027. Power was projected to climb to 53rd in the standings after the event.
Bad weather forced organizers to cancel Sunday's final round at the Bermuda Championship, held at Port Royal Golf Course. With more rain forecast for Monday, officials ended the event with a play-off between the two leaders after 54 holes.
