Jim Herman Rallies to Win Wyndham, Qualify for FedEx Playoffs

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Jim Herman’s got a plan to keep his PGA Tour career thriving—play more rounds with President Donald Trump.

Whenever Herman plays golf with the president, soon after he hoists a trophy.

It happened in 2016 with his breakthrough victory at the Houston Open, again before he won the Barbasol tournament last year—and now before Herman’s improbable rally Sunday at Wyndham Championship to make the FedEx Cup playoffs.

“He’s been a big supporter of mine,” Herman said about Trump, his regular golf partner while working as an assistant professional at Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey.
