Dixon had joined the PGA Tour a year ago, but had made just 10 cuts in 26 starts. He earned $462,642 but then had to go back to Q School. He will begin the 2026 season on the Korn Ferry Tour and is off to a strong start, winning the season opener and his third career KFT win in his 100th start on the circuit.
Dixon’s 261 broke the tournament scoring record by one stroke. Chan Kim won his first tournament without a bogey at the 2023 Albertsons Boise Open.
