Russell, 17 and the world's sixth-ranked amateur, will make his 15th start on either the PGA Tour or the Korn Ferry Tour at the FedEx Cup Fall event, played on the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda. Russell played in the tournament in 2024 at the age of 15 and missed the cut. This will be his eighth PGA Tour start, to go with seven Korn Ferry Tour outings.
Russell made the cut earlier this year at the U.S. Open (finishing tied for 39th) and at the Puerto Rico Open (tying for 50th). He also had his best finish in a pro tournament so far with a tie for 15th at the Korn Ferry Tour's Club Car Championship in Savannah.
Russell has made two cuts on the PGA Tour and three on the Korn Ferry Tour. He has a 71.9 scoring average in PGA Tour events and 69.75 on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Novak and Coughlin shot 28-under to win by three shots.
