After a week off following a run to Japan, the PGA Tour’s FedEx fall schedule resumes with a trip to the rugged Utah desert.
Last year’s inaugural Black Desert Championship now has a corporate sponsor in the Bank of Utah but returns to the Black Desert Resort and a unique Tom Weiskopf-designed course that guides players through, yes, a black desert landscape.
Most of the 132 players aren’t teeing it up for the views, though. Fully exempt cards are still up for grabs for 2026, with a reminder again that only the top 100 in points, not 125, will have full privileges on Tour.
The top 50 from the FedEx Cup playoffs are safe and roughly the next 25 to 30 are too, with everyone below that looking for big weeks in the seven FedEx fall events, and the Bank of Utah Championship is the fourth of the seven.
Players like Matt McCarty (No. 84, the defending champion), Mac Meissner (87), Sami Valimaki (97), Isaiah Salinda (101), Joel Dahmen (103) and Lanto Griffin (108) are all looking to improve their standing. In addition to fighting for status, the top 10 in points via the fall tournaments are exempt for the first two signature events of 2026 (though one of those, the season-opening Sentry, remains in doubt).
Max Homa is arguably the biggest name in the field; he’s 100th in points but is secure through 2028 thanks to previous wins. He’s taking on a heavy fall schedule to get his game back after a lackluster 2025 regular season.
