Sloan using stats to earn his status

The chase for the remaining PGA Tour cards for the 2025 season begins Thursday at the Procore Championship.

Canadian Roger Sloan is one of the players trying to stay on the tour in the FedEx Cup Fall season, and he is using every tool at his disposal to secure one of the 55 full cards available or one of 25 spots with conditional status for next year. That includes relying on analytics to help him think his way around the course.

"My focus is doing what I can possibly do, controlling what I can do to be the best golfer that I can be," said Sloan, of Merritt, B.C. "I'm looking forward to this fall schedule, some good tournaments.

"There's a lot of travel involved in the fall schedule, but it's an exciting time for us." The FedExCup Fall circuit consists of eight PGA Tour events that let players lock up or improve their positions in priority ranking and secure additional playing opportunities for next year, which begins at The Sentry on Jan. 2.
