Tillery witnessed enough glimpses of good golf that he’s convinced Kisner still has better days ahead of him. “It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he figures it out,” Tillery said.

But time is of the essence. He made just five cuts in 18 starts this season and banked a measly $132,930. With his full exempt status running out this season, Kisner has a lot at stake this fall and he said he plans to play in all the FedEx Fall events except for the Sanderson Farms Championship. He needs to improve into the top 125 to retain his privileges; otherwise, he could use a one-time top 50 career money list exemption – that is if he stays in it. He’s No. 50 heading into the fall. And if that doesn’t work out? His level of interest in doing TV may suddenly increase. This means this fall slate of tournaments may determine the direction of his career.

It’s a far cry from the gritty competitor who spent nearly eight consecutive years beginning in June 2015 inside the top 50 in the world (minus three weeks), winning four Tour titles, playing on two Presidents Cup teams and earning nearly $30 million under the tutelage of instructor John Tillery. Beginning in 2014, he helped Kisner get wider at the top with his transition and quiet his legs. Kisner jumped from outside the Tour’s top 100 to 38th in driving accuracy in 2015.

Of course, it’s that level of precision that has abandoned him in recent years. Even a victory at the Wyndham Championship, the final regular season FedEx Cup event, wouldn’t have been enough to lift Kisner, 40, into the FedEx Cup playoffs, which is why he agreed to serve as NBC’s lead analyst for the three playoff events. He’s been a popular fill-in this season for Paul Azinger as an analyst, working events in Hawaii, Phoenix, and the Players Championship previously to great fanfare. A guaranteed paycheck to do TV — albeit much smaller than he could possibly make between the ropes — is ripe for the taking if Kisner accepts being a part-time player. But he still lives to compete and doesn’t appear willing to walk away without going down swinging.
