Will Zalatoris is in the field at the Wyndham this week, playing on a sponsor exemption, but you won’t find his name on the FedEx Cup Playoffs points list. That’s because he is still playing as a Special Temporary Member on the PGA Tour and therefore, he is not eligible for the playoffs unless he wins the Wyndham. He has three top-10s in four major championship appearances, including a solo second at the 2021 Masters. He’s made 20 of 24 cuts and has posted eight top-10s.
A week and a half ago, Zalatoris was 50-50 on playing the Wyndham Championship, having injuring himself hitting out of rough during the British Open. He withdrew after the first round that week and didn’t touch a club until finishing T-8 at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational this past week. Asked about his plans beyond this tournament, Zalatoris said he’d be listening to his body.
“Obviously this week, it’s win or go home,” he said. “Second means as
much as missing a cut, so I’ve got nothing to lose this week, but obviously were I not to win, I’m going to keep listening to my body, but as a backup plan, definitely looking at going to Europe.”
