The race for the 2026 Charles Schwab Cup has reached the postseason, with 72 players earning their places in the PGA Tour Champions playoffs following the conclusion of the regular season.

Five-time winner Stewart Cink heads into the knockout stages at the top of the standings, with Zach Johnson and Steven Alker among the leading contenders. 

There is also a place for Michael Block, who has secured a playoff spot after competing on sponsor invitations throughout the campaign.

The postseason will feature three tournaments, with the field reduced from 72 players to 54 before the final 36 compete for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship at Phoenix Country Club from November 12-15.

Making that final 36-player field carries added significance, as it guarantees eligible players a place on the PGA Tour Champions for the 2027 season.
