Also, its important to look at who's in position to get their card (top 125) for next year (listed golfers only):
121: Tim Petrovic $856,611 122: Nick Watney $855,863 128: David Toms $799,114 130: Mark Calcavecchia $784,810 131: Bob Tway $775,072 135: Bob Estes $727,429 136: Jason Gore $710,664 138: Jason Day $698,393 139: Rich Beem $696,363 140: Tom Lehman $676,651 142: Jasper Parnevik $635,819 143: Joe Durant $618,568 144: Chris DiMarco $580,175 145: Frank Lickliter II $538,683 146: Todd Hamilton $537,958 151: Mark Hensby $480,483 152: Lee Janzen $477,845 157: Arron Oberholser $454,881 163: Chris Riley $388,850 164: Brett Rumford $388,419 166: Nick Flanagan $379,063 167: Harrison Frazar $375,059 168: Carlos Franco $368,200 178: Brandt Jobe $293,214 186: Fred Funk $257,283 190: Robert Gamez $238,076 193: Ted Purdy $232,567 203: Olin Browne $167,029 206: Shigeki Maruyama $160,175 208: Shaun Micheel $157,828 209: Paul Stankowski $156,077 215: Brett Wetterich $121,675 217: David Duval $114,974  230: Jose Marie Olazabel $60,200 232: John Daly $56,017 235: Jonathon Kaye $41,375 237: Len Mattiace $35,333 238: Joey Sindelar $34,351 245: Kirk Triplett $23,502 256: Skip Kendall $7,910 As Rich pointed out before, not all of them will play much next year and will be looking at things like sponsors exemptions to be able to play on tour. Some are now on the Champions Tour, others will get an injury exemption (though I dont keep track who's hurt in golf), some of the Euros and Australians will probably stick more to their side of the pond.

Thank you -mmm- for the good information including the field.
I counted about 40 of our golfers that are not on the top 125 on the money list. Seems like that is a little high of a number to me. Good old Skippy.  I seemed to remember Skippy was actually going to win a tournament one time and O mentioned something about it on the second to last hole of the tournament and of course Skippy lost. Good memories.

Thanks Mark. There's another way the guys can back (as Skippy is trying right now) and that is via the Nationwide Tour. Remember GORJA last year? That is how he got to the "big show". He won 3 times on the Nationwide and POOF! (lol....remember that in chat?) he was on the Tour. Yes there are injury exemptions (of which I believe TOMDA, DIMCH, OBEAR and MARUS are eligible -there are others I'm not sure about). Peter, you're right....there are way too may J$ listed golfers that will be SOL...BUT...you can bet that the "regulars" will get most of the sponsors exemptions.
Biggest surprises for me on that "bad" list: CALMA BEEMR DURJO FRACA JOBBR GAMRO PURTE The Euro tour will be noticeably different next year. More tournaments....more $$$$$$$$...with the ending tournament worth 10mil in Dubai. Don't be surprised if you don't see some of the PGA guys head over there hoping to pick up some easier $$$$$...not sure they realize that it won't be easy at all. I know DJOHN will be heading over there. With no further ado..........

I do find it a little interesting that GORJA found another way to get on the PGA and he is on the "bad" list.
I could just be losing my mind but the "bad" list either has older golfers or some really young ones as well with some exceptions of course.
