PGA TOUR: Cameron Champ leads Fall Swing’s most dominant players
By Bill Felber
Reavie is a 37-year-old journeyman who joined the tour in 2008 and is coming off his best season, one in which he won $2.7 million in 28 events. He has not, however, won since the 2008 Canadian Open, although he came close in 2018, losing a playoff to Gary Woodland at the Waste Management.
For Reavie, that makes the fall tour a series of opportunities to cash in against fields that are generally among the weaker ones on tour.
His five fall tour stops all produced respectable but not contending finishes, ranging from a tie for 15th at the CJ Cup to a tie for 43rd at the CIMB.
The key to Reavie’s rating has been that in all his starts except the CIMB, he beat the field average performance. His -0.27 average score – placing him roughly in the top 40 percent of players from week-to-week – is a reflection of his consistency. On a more substantive basis, of course, it’s also helped his bank account by giving him five paychecks. He’s already won more than $475,000, although that ranks just 34th on tour to date. Reavie skipped the HSBC — by far the fall tour’s biggest payout.
