PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – There were 50 PGA Tour cards up for grabs this season on the Web.com circuit, and as of Sunday night all 50 have been spoken for.
The top 25 regular-season money earners from the Web.com Tour were already heading to the big leagues next season. The remaining 25 cards have been awarded to the top earners from the month-long Finals series, where Bud Cauley, Adam Hadwin, Justin Thomas and Derek Fathauer found the winner’s circle. The Finals series pit Nos. 1-75 from the regular-season Web.com Tour money list against those who finished Nos. 126-200 in the FedEx Cup standings.
Though PGA Tour cards have been handed out, a player’s priority ranking will be a critical factor in forecasting his chances to succeed next season. The 50 graduates are ranked from 1-50 based on earnings, and that ranking will be used to determine who gets into events during the first portion of the new season. Last year, six of the top 10 from the 2013 Finals priority ranking kept their PGA Tour cards, while none from Nos. 41-50 were able to retain full-time status.
The top two spots in the rankings go to the top overall earner (regular season plus Finals, Hadwin) and the top Finals earner (Fathauer). Each of the top two finishers are fully exempt for next season and will receive a spot in the field at the 2015 Players Championship. Carlos Ortiz is also fully exempt on the PGA Tour next season – though he does not have a spot in The Players – based on his promotion for three regular-season Web.com wins.
From there, the rankings alternate between players who began the Finals without a PGA Tour card and those who had already earned a card by virtue of their Web.com Tour regular-season earnings. The alternating format between the two categories is why Cauley sits ahead of Thomas although he has less Finals money.
