It was a week of small movements for Canadians on the PGA Tour. As the season winds down and the race for positioning on the FedEx Cup standings heats up, most of the players rose or fell a single spot at the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico.
The three Canadian golfers who need to move up just a few spots fell back with Mackenzie Hughes, Taylor Pendrith and A.J. Ewart all missing the cut. Hughes fell from 101st to 102nd, Pendrith went from 102nd to 103rd and Ewart wound up in 105th spot after starting the week at 104th.
Players who finish from 51st to 100th have status in all full-field events. There is room from 101st to 125th for limited status, getting into mostly opposite-field tournaments.
The Canadian who moved up the most was Sudarshan Yellamaraju, who jumped up two spots to 64th. The PGA Tour rookie enjoyed a final-round 66 and finished in a tie for 12th spot. The 25-year-old rode a hot driver over the four days, leading the tournament in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee. If he can finish the season from 51st to 60th, he will qualify for the first two Signature events.
The other Canadians to move up in the rankings were Nick Taylor, who went up two places to 71st spot, and Adam Svensson, who went from 182nd to 181st after a tie for 68th in the tournament.
Ben Silverman tied for 33rd at the tournament in Mexico but fell one place to 117th.
Corey Conners, who didn’t play last week and is not in the field this week, is the top-ranked Canadian, sitting in 62nd place.
The penultimate tournament on the PGA Tour’s 2026 schedule is the Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions. Canadians entered are Ewart, Hughes, Pendrith, Svensson, Taylor and Yellamaraju. Silverman is the second alternate while Adam Hadwin, who is 175th in the FedEx Fall standings, is 12th.
