The 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs started at this week’s Dominion Energy Charity Classic at The Country Club of Virginia.
Retief Goosen shot a 6-under 66 on Thursday and leads five others by a shot at the 54-hole event. Goosen won the Galleri Classic in Rancho Mirage, California, earlier this season and is seeking his fourth PGA Tour Champions win. Among those shooting a 5-under 67 on Friday was Paul Goydos, who hit all 18 greens in regulation.
Only the top 72 golfers from the regular season are in the field. The tournament within the tournament this week is that only the top 54 after Sunday’s final round will advance to the second event of the postseason, next week’s Simmons Bank Championship in Little Rock, Arkansas.
After 18 holes in Virginia, three golfers have moved inside the top 54, while three others have slipped back.
The three moving up:
-
Paul Goydos, up from 59 to 38
-
Heath Slocum, up from 62 to 40
-
David Bransdon, up from 56 to 53
The three moving back:
-
Chris DiMarco, down from 51 to 56
-
Angel Cabrera, down from 54 to 57
-
Kirk Triplett, down from 53 to 58
Cabrera was the “bubble boy” in the 54th spot. With 36 holes left to go this weekend, that Kenny Perry now assumes that role.
