A win obviously helps. But a handful of strong finishes (maybe with a few top fives thrown in) should be more than enough to get you there. Somehow, Jordan Spieth is No. 54 heading into this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship without a single top-10 finish this season.
How exactly? Well, he’s Jordan Spieth, of course. His best finishes this season are a pair of T-11s at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Valspar. And those almost-top-10s, along with seven other top 25s, will have him teeing off at TPC Southwind. He truly is golf’s enigma.
