PGA Tour Fan Favorite Shoots Season-Low Round to Take Lead At Wyndham
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Joel Dahmen knows all too well the pain of being close to losing his PGA Tour card. But he also knows how to handle the stress and maintain his full status, even when it happens at the last second. Dahmen, one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour, is currently completely out of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He'd likely need a win at the Wyndham Championship to open a spot for himself in the top 70, and he seems determined to get it. The 37-year-old fired a 9-under 61 during the first round of the Wyndham Championship to take the clubhouse lead with the round yet to finish. It's the best round of the season for Dahmen, whose previously low was 62 at the Corales Puntacana Championship. "It was really good," Dahmen said, according to the transcripts of his post-round interview. "Drove it in the rough a couple holes early but got away with a couple of them and then hit a ton of fairways after that and hit the numbers I was trying to and rolled in a few putts. So it was as basic as it gets, but typically when you do all those things, it adds up to a really low score." Joel Dahmen of the United States hits his tee shot on the ninth hole during the first round of the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale on February 10, 2022 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Joel Dahmen of the United States hits his tee shot on the ninth hole during the first round of the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale on February 10, 2022 in Scottsdale, Arizona.A win would give Dahmen his PGA Tour card for the next two seasons, while qualifying for the playoffs would guarantee his membership for the following year. In either case, he would be exempt from having to play in the fall for the first time since 2022. "Great to make the playoffs, that would be unbelievable, give me a lot of time off this fall," he said, according to the transcripts. "We've got a baby coming so that would take some pressure off of that. The playoffs are a bonus for me. I'm just going to go out and try to play good golf, and I guess if I play really well, then I get to play another week." A year ago, Dahmen had to play until the final tournament of the FedEx Cup Fall to keep his PGA Tour card. Even so, he managed to it almost at the limit of his capabilities, finishing second to last in the top 125. Dahmen has never qualified for the Tour Championship, the final stage of the playoffs. In 2019 and 2020, he reached the second stage (BMW Championship), while he has played in the first tournament several times, most recently in 2022.

Rickie Fowler's status unclear ahead of 3M Open tee time Thursday
Rickie Fowler's attempt to bounce back from a missed cut at The Open now hinges on his readiness for the 3M Open in Minnesota. The veteran golfer is scheduled to tee it up on Thursday morning at TPC Twin Cities, but questions about his health linger after a mid-tournament withdrawal just days ago. Fowler bowed out of the WM Phoenix Open before the second round last week, citing illness. He had opened with a tough 3-over 74 and made headlines more for his camo attire than his performance. His early exit came quietly, and the PGA Tour confirmed he would not return for Round 2, where he was slated to play with Billy Horschel and Sahith Theegala. This wasn't an isolated struggle. Since winning the Phoenix Open in 2019, Fowler has missed the cut or withdrawn in four of his last five appearances at the event. Now, all eyes are on Minnesota, where he's grouped with Tony Finau and Taylor Pendrith. Fowler is scheduled to begin his opening round at 8:29 a.m. ET, then follow with an afternoon tee time Friday at 1:54 p.m. ET. The 3M Open is one of the final chances to rack up FedEx Cup points before the playoffs begin.

Though still a fan favorite and one of golf's most recognizable faces, his recent form and health concerns make his 3M Open status a major storyline. Whether he can shake off the illness and find momentum late in the season remains to be seen. But with the regular season clock winding down, there's little time left for misfires.

Skip Bin Hire vs. DIY Waste Disposal: Which Saves You More Time and Money?
Scottie Scheffler isn't just dominating professional golf — he's doing it with a mindset that rivals legends. 'I would equate him — at least in terms of mentality — to an athlete like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods… he uses the tiniest of slights… and makes sure you can use it to fire yourself up to do the next thing.' That's how Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and Ryan Lavner described Scheffler on their podcast, echoing what much of the golf world already believes: Scottie Scheffler is operating at a level few others have ever reached. And it is not just the podcast hosts who agree on that. Jon Rahm, who had a tough outing at The Open Championship at the Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, agrees with them, too. Rahm carded a 1 under par on the last day to finish at 3 under par, securing T34 on the leaderboard. That is nearly 14 strokes behind the consistent Scottie Scheffler, who won the event. Rahm was full of praise for the growth shown by the four-time Major winner. 'Very few players have been able to do what he's done. He's won three majors in three years — or four years. No, three years. Won nine times last season, and he keeps going on. He's doing what everybody wants to do.' Rahm stated. Scheffler claimed his first-ever win on the PGA Tour in 2022 at the WM Phoenix Open. In the last four years, he has outdone himself, claiming fifteen more wins, en route to being World No. 1. This includes a ridiculous stretch during the 2024 season, right after Rahm left for LIV Golf, where Scheffler recorded 7 wins on the PGA Tour.

He's won three majors in three years — or four years. No, three years. Won nine times last season, and he keeps going on. He's doing what everybody wants to do.' — Ron Mintz (@MintzGolf) July 20, 2025 The two seasons before Scheffler won his first PGA Tour title, Scheffler carded 15 top 10 finishes, including a runner-up position at the World Golf Championships and third at the Memorial Tournament. It seemed like he could never get over the hump before his victory in Arizona. 'What I keep reminding myself is he was able to turn things around drastically. From not being able to close out early on some of the chances he had to getting it done often. If he's been able to do it, all of us are able to do it.' The Spaniard further added. ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad 'I've definitely played really high, and I've had my battles against him head to head, and it's always been a lot of fun. I'm optimistic that I can get to that level as well. Obviously it's not easy, but I'm optimistic it can be done.' The 2023 Masters Champion professed. And the respect between the two is mutual, as Scheffler had previously mentioned that the one thing he misses from LIV Golf is the fact that a lot of good competitors went away, especially Rahm. Scheffler misses the competition against Jon Rahm 'To be completely honest, Jon [Rahm] was one of my favourite people to play against. We had some good battles throughout the years and I was pretty surprised that he decided to take the money and leave.' Scheffler had stated previously. Rahm and Scheffler were involved in some heavy battles, especially during the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome. They played each other in singles play, where Scheffler held a slight edge, before Rahm carded a valuable birdie on the last hole to tie the contest. ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad Fans were very recently treated to another classic encounter between the Spaniard and the American at the 2025 PGA Championship. Rahm was the only person who was able to draw level with Scottie Scheffler during the weekend, when they momentarily had the same score on the 11th hole. However, Rahm succumbed to pressure, carding a bogey and two double bogeys across the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes to finish seven strokes behind the eventual winner. Yet, it still remains as a stark reminder of the threat Jon Rahm poses to Scottie Scheffler. Can he continue to bring the same fervour in the future, or will Scottie Scheffler put an insurmountable gap between him and the rest of the field?
