Former Cards Reach FedEx Cup Playoffs

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former University of Louisville men's golf standouts Derek Fathauer and Adam Hadwin have each qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs.

During the PGA TOUR Season, TOUR members earn points based on their results, with a strong emphasis placed on winning and high finishes. Once the PGA TOUR season concludes, the top-125 players advance to the FedExCup Playoffs, a series of four, $8-million tournaments, offering quadruple points relative to PGA TOUR season events.

Hadwin, an All-American, finished 84th in the FedEx Cup standings after posting two top-10 finishes and six in the top 25. Appearing in 25 events on tour, Hadwin made 18 cuts last year, posting a season-high sixth-place finish at the Career Builder Challenge.

Another UofL All-American, Fathauer ranks 115th FedEx Cup standings after playing in 27 tournaments. A native of Jensen Beach, Fla, Fathauer had a season-best fourth-place finish at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba and added five top-25 finishes this season.

The four Playoffs events will offer $32 million in prize money, meaning a total of $67 million is on the line over the four weeks of FedExCup Playoff competition.
