The 2021 PGA season has been good to Roger Sloan.
The 33-year old from Merritt finished tied for 25th at the Honda Classic over the weekend, played at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
That finish was good enough for Sloan to earn a paycheck of just under $55,000. In total, the 2021 PGA season has seen Sloan earn prize money totalling $282,860, a season which also includes a top 20 finish at the Bermuda Championship in November.
This weekend’s event was the second tournament in a row that he was able to finish in the top 25, after finishing in a tie for 22nd in late February.
His best round of the four-day tournament came on Saturday when he shot a 66, which included five birdies and just a single bogey. He closed out the tournament on Sunday with a two-over 72.
Perhaps most crucial to Sloan’s solid recent play is a vault in the FedEx Cup rankings. He moved up eight spots this weekend to 122nd, while the top 125 at the end of the season earn their ticket into the FedEx Cup playoffs.
