The 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs started at this week’s Dominion Energy Charity Classic at The Country Club of Virginia. There were 72 golfers in the field to start the PGA Tour Champions postseason.
Fifty-four holes later, there are now 54 golfers moving on to the second round at the Simmons Bank Championship in Little Rock, Arkansas, Oct. 25-27.
Tim O’Neal won the Dominion Energy Charity Classic by two shots for his first Champions circuit victory. It’s a win that gave him the biggest jump up in the points race.
Who moved into top 54 in Charles Schwab Cup?
- Tim O’Neal: 55th to 13th
- David Bransdon: 56th to 35th
- Paul Goydos: 59th to 48th
Who moved out of top 54 in Charles Schwab Cup?
- Chris DiMarco: 51st to 55th
- Kirk Triplett: 53rd to 56th
- Angel Cabrera: 54th to 59th
Cabrera was the “bubble boy” in the 54th spot. That role now goes to Michael Wright, who slid from 48th but held on.
What about the top 36 for season finale?
Bransdon not only jumped into the top 54 for the Simmons Bank, but he’s now 35th and inside the top 36 for the season finale at Phoenix Country Club in three weeks. Rod Pampling also moved inside the top 36, going from 38th to 33rd. Along with O’Neal, those are the three moving up.
Meanwhile, Charlie Wi dropped from 33rd to 37th, Steve Allan from 34th to 38th and David Toms from 35th to 39th. Those three will need to make the most of the tournament in two weeks to climb back into the top 36.
