The PGA Tour's race for the top 125, which secures status for the 2025 season, is heating up. Three of the eight FedEx Fall series events are in the books, and after the inaugural Black Desert Championship in Utah, two golfers have moved up and two have fallen back.

Matt McCarty won the Black Desert and he finds himself in the No. 95 spot. He actually took any stress out of navigating the top 125 any further by winning, which means a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.

Henrik Norlander also moved to the good side, climbing from 131 to 119 after he finished tied for eighth at Black Desert Resort.

With two golfers moving up, two had to slide back. Those two were Taylor Montgomery, down four spots to No. 128, and Michael Kim, who was the "bubble boy" at No. 125 but he now checks in at No. 129.

Any golfer who finishes Nos. 51-60 in the FedEx Cup standings will earn entry into the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational, the first two signature events of 2025. Those who finished inside of the top 125 will earn their PGA Tour cards for 2025.

Here's a look at the standings after the Black Desert Championship:
