Rahm finishes No. 1 in Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 to Claim $4 Million Bonus

-

 PONTE VEDRA BEACH (www.sportsdayjax.com) -  The 2022-23 FedExCup Regular Season concluded this weekend at the Wyndham Championship with Spain’s Jon Rahm claiming the No. 1 position in the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 and earning a $4 million bonus. The Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 emphasizes player performance by rewarding the top players in the FedExCup standings at the end of the FedExCup Regular Season.

“I’m grateful to win this year’s Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, a reminder of the season I put together and all of the hard work and support the team put in to get there,” Rahm said. “I try my hardest to win each and every time I tee it up in a tournament, and this award is a great acknowledgment of that goal.”

Rahm won four tournaments during the 2022-23 PGA TOUR Regular Season, including three times over a stretch of five starts, before claiming a second career major championship at the Masters Tournament. The 28-year-old opened his season with six consecutive top-10 finishes, including back-to-back victories at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express.

After a solo-third finish at the WM Phoenix Open, Rahm returned to the winner’s circle at The Genesis Invitational, a two-stroke victory that returned him to the top of both the FedExCup standings and the Official World Golf Ranking. His final win during the 2022-23 season came at Augusta National, where he won by four shots, marking his first major title since the 2021 U.S. Open. In 17 starts in the Regular Season, Rahm recorded four wins, 10 top-10s and 12 top-25 finishes.

“On behalf of Comcast Business, congratulations to Jon Rahm for clinching the top spot in the 2023 Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, and to all the elite athletes who earned a position on the leaderboard,” said Eileen Diskin, CMO, Comcast Business. “Comcast Business is committed to serving business leaders on and off the course, keeping them ready for whatever lies ahead. It continues to be an honor partnering with the PGA TOUR and we are excited to see how all of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 finishers compete in the FedExCup Playoffs.”

Earning a top-10 spot in the standings entering the FedExCup Playoffs is an important goal for players looking to position themselves for a run at the FedExCup trophy. As part of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, a $20 million bonus is shared among the top-10 finishers in the FedExCup Regular Season standings.

Collin Morikawa earned the top spot in the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 in 2021 before Scottie Scheffler claimed the honor in 2022. Below are the 2022-23 results:

Golf: Remembering Kathy Whitworth, the Game’s Greatest Winner

  The golf world and the world in general lost one of its most incredible women with the passing of Kathy Whitworth yesterday. Kathy was a champion in the truest sense of the word, both on the golf course and off. In the short time I spent with Kathy, I was truly blown away by her and her approach to the game and to life. Her strength, insightfulness and vibrancy were obvious from the minute you met her! She inspired me as a young girl and now as the commissioner and I know she did the same for so many others. We all mourn with Bettye, her family and the entire golf world.” – LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan (From the LPGA) By Ron Sirak The dining room at Trophy Club Country Club near Flower Mound, Texas, gazes upon the rolling hills and old oak trees through which two courses meander, one named for the club’s most famous member, Kathy Whitworth, the other the lone design by the icon of Texas golf, Ben Hogan.

The 13th-ranked Tigers (10-3) launched the team's post-Daniels era with a 35-31, come-from-behind victory over Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, with a calm Nussmeier leading a 98-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown in the closing minutes. "You do what you have to do to win the football game. It doesn't matter if you start from the 1, the 2 ... you just stick to the process play-by-play, move the chains, move the chains and put the ball in the end zone," the third-year sophomore said. "That doesn't just speak to me, it speaks to our entire group," Nussmeier added. "You can't do it by yourself. And to go 98 yards with the game on the line, that means a lot to me. To be the leader of the offense, that matters more." Stepping in to make his f
