Full Field Announced for 2025 Bank of Utah Championship on PGA Tour
The PGA Tour is set to kick off the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship, marking a pivotal stop in the FedEx fall schedule. This year’s event returns to the Black Desert Resort, known for its Tom Weiskopf-designed course, located amidst a dramatic black desert landscape. The tournament will feature 132 players vying for important points toward their standings for the 2026 season.
Event Details
The Bank of Utah Championship is the fourth of seven events in the FedEx fall series. Players will compete for fully exempt status, crucial for those aiming to improve their positions and secure their spots for the upcoming season. Only the top 100 players in points will receive full Tour privileges.
Key Competitors
- Matt McCarty (Defending Champion, Ranked 84)
- Mac Meissner (Ranked 87)
- Sami Valimaki (Ranked 97)
- Isaiah Salinda (Ranked 101)
- Joel Dahmen (Ranked 103)
- Lanto Griffin (Ranked 108)
- Max Homa (Ranked 100, Secure through 2028)
Players resting below the top tier will be looking for strong performances to not only gain points but also potentially make the top 10 standings in fall tournaments. Those players can receive exemptions for upcoming signature events in 2026, including the season-opening Sentry Tournament, though details about this specific event remain unclear.
Notable Absentees
The championship will take place without any participants from last month’s Ryder Cup. However, European vice captain Alex Noren could make an impact, currently positioned at 111th in the points standings.
The Bank of Utah Championship promises to deliver an exciting competition as players strive for excellence in the rugged terrain of Utah’s desert landscape.
