About the First Priority Reshuffle

One thrilling twist to the brand new wraparound PGA Tour season is that the concern reshuffles begin faster. According to this text approximately the reshuffles at PGATOUR.Com, the first one comes proper after the OHL Classic at Mayakoba -- a mere two weeks from now (November 17).

If you click on at the link above, you may be taken to a table displaying the present day (October 28) function of the fifty two players from the Web.Com Tour. (It incorporates extra than the Tour grads. Several of the gamers at the bottom of the listing are on clinical extensions. More on that later in this put up.) You'll also see their FedExCup factor totals and projected movement in the precedence listing if the reshuffle had befell ultimate week.

I located it very exciting. You wouldn't have expected a lot to manifest so fast.

Clearly the massive winners right here are Ryo Ishikawa and Will MacKenzie, who could pass as much as #1 and #2 respectively. Ryo is the most effective player in this list gambling inside the WGC this week, though he's no longer doing particularly well. But I assume he will nonetheless be projected #1 in view that no person else from the listing is gambling.

Despite being in the mix at the Frys.com event, Chesson Hadley is projected to drop 3 spots from his current #1 spot. And Seung-yul Noh, the current #2, is projected to drop 21 spots!

Two big surprise movers are Ricky Barnes, projected to move up 23 spots from #31 (into the Top10), and Kevin Tway, projected to transport up 24 spots from #forty four. Ricky's been struggling this 12 months and Kevin is a real rookie. For them to make this type of massive pass in opposition to some experienced players who were doing fairly well isn't some thing I predicted.

If you take a look at the desk you will get a great preview of simply how dramatically your lifestyles can trade at the Tour while you aren't completely exempt. Remember, the lower you are at the listing, the less you get to play and the less manipulate you have over your time table. (You may not see either Michael Putnam or John Peterson on this listing. Both won absolutely-exempt Tour cards via the Web.Com Tour.)

And if you're curious about how the exemptions are decided -- there are a gaggle of different classes -- and just who holds each of those exemptions, you could test this very thorough listing from PGATOUR.Com. Putnam and Peterson got the Category 22 exemptions. Categories 25 and 26 are the ones proven within the reshuffle desk.

If there are players whose status you want to keep up with, you'll want to bookmark the reshuffle link in the first paragraph. Of course, I'm sure all the guys listed on that page know exactly where they are.
