\u201cI have no choice, I have to go out and try but at some point it just felt like the body can\u2019t move and answer what I need to do,\u201d said Aphibarnrat, who recorded double bogeys at the third and seventh holes on Friday before deciding to WD. \u201cIt\u2019s quite a disappointed result but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Genesis Championship was the 37-year-old Aphibarnrat\u2019s final chance to qualify for a DP World Tour card in 2027. Entering the event 108th in points, with the top 100 at week\u2019s end earning cards, he held back tears in discussing his disappointment in coming up short, even apologizing to his fans<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have been playing all 11 weeks in a row,\u201d said Aphibarnrat, a four-time DP World Tour winner.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve gotten my tour card back twice from the Q-school and I have to go back there,\u201d he added. \u201cWho knows, next year could be my best season.\u201d<\/p>\n The 43-year-old Larraz\u00e1bal shot 73-73 over his two rounds in South Korea and was equally distraught about having to go back to the European tour\u2019s Q-School.<\/p>\n \u201cNot too many people in the world can say that they have achieved probably 98, 99% of my dreams,\u201d said Larraz\u00e1bal, who was 165th in points. \u201cBut I think I have a couple more years of golf and I think I can still win golf tournaments. But for that, I\u2019m going to have to prepare myself.\u201d<\/p>\n Here are other notables who will finish outside the top 100 in points and will lose their DP World Tour card for 2027:<\/p>\n Christiaan BezuidenhoutDylan FrittelliElvis SmylieHarry HallMatthieu PavonThorbjorn Olesen<\/p>\n Bezuidenhout and Hall have each played 24 PGA Tour events this year and sit inside the top 100 in the FedExCup fall standings<\/a>, which would give them status on that tour next season.
