The 2024 PGA Tour season wrapped up this past weekend with Scottie Scheffler capping his historic season with a Tour Championship and FedEx Cup title. Here's how the Crimson Tide players on tour fared this past season
Justin Thomas:
Wins: 0
FedEx Cup finish: T14
Earnings: $4,475,561
JT's up-and-down season, with highs and lows, is indicative of where he is in his career right now. Thomas was the final player to sneak into the Tour Championship as the No. 30 ranked player in the field. He had a strong showing at the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla, which was his only top-10 in a major championship this season.
Nick Dunlap:
Wins: 2
FedEx Cup finish: 49
Earnings: $2,878,325
Not a bad season for the 20-year-old! One of the most promising young talents on tour, Dunlap left Tuscaloosa in January after becoming the first amateur to win on the PGA Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991; he'd be working on the first semester of his junior year at UA if he didnt win! After delivering an impressive performance in Memphis at St. Jude as the youngest player in the field, he secured a spot in the BMW Championship. He could be the next non-major winner to make a breakthrough; this was his first time playing the Masters and PGA Championship, but he didn't qualify for The Open. If he continues his upward trajectory, there is a real chance of Dunlap being a potential captain's pick at the 2025 Ryder Cup, given his strong matchplay skills demonstrated during his two years at Alabama.
Lee Hodges:
Wins: 0
FedEx Cup finish: 79
Earnings: $1,799,907
After securing a breakthrough win at the 2023 3M Open in Minnesota, Hodges was unable to maintain that momentum throughout the following season. Hodges had a decent stretch in May, including a top-15 finish at Valhalla, but did not achieve anything particularly noteworthy. Fortunately, the 29-year-old's victory in 2023 gives him an exemption for one more season on tour, making 2025 a crucial year for his career.
