Inaugural Austin Championship brings a high-stakes FedExCup Fall status race

The Austin Championship runs Nov. 12–15 with 120 players, a $6 million purse and 500 FedExCup Fall points for the winner. Matt Kuchar, 158th in the Fall standings, needs a win to retain Tour status for 2027, while Billy Horschel is also near the bubble; Jackson Koivun is a betting favorite ahead of Blades Brown. Fazio Canyons is a new Tour venue, with wind and rain possible.
