Since I still don't have my new RGWR database set up (now I'm just hoping to have it up and running for next month's rankings) I'm going to look ahead to that other Tour Championship this week.
The Web.Com Tour Championship determines the alternative 50 PGA Tour playing cards to be provided for subsequent year. (Well, 25 have been already decided at the quit of the Web.Com Tour season... However now the seedings are up for grabs.) Here is the list of the modern-day money list positions for the players, and I have to mention that I locate this list very exciting. Bear in mind that the winner this week gets $a hundred and eighty,000.
Sitting at the top of the list is Seung-Yul Noh with $210,125. Guess what? He's not playing this week! Seung-Yul had been away from his home in Korea for months and they said during the tournament he won that he was getting homesick. (For example, he was going to the same Korean restaurant every night and it wasn't for superstitious reasons.) He's locked up his card and he decided that's good enough.
According to the Web.Com Tour Championship preview, every person all the way down to #29 ought to take first area from him. Why is first region the sort of massive deal? Because the pinnacle finisher receives complete Tour privileges (no priority reshuffle in the course of subsequent season) and a experience to the TPC. Michael Putnam, who sits at #10, already has complete Tour privileges seeing that he won the normal Web.Com Tour season.
Patrick Cantlay at #7 (his card locked up as nicely) is likewise sitting the week out with back problems.
Several gamers will get Tour cards regardless of what happens. Andrew Svoboda and Trevor Immelman (who gained the opposite events in these playoffs), Ryo Ishikawa, and Will Mackenzie are in that institution. Bud Cauley will probably get his additionally, although some desirable play this week will assure it.
But desirable play isn't always assured for anybody. This very last event may be played at TPC Sawgrass -- the Dye?S Valley route -- that's a 6,864 yards, par 70 layout... And the word is this sucker may be even tougher than the Stadium Course wherein the TPC is played.
This could be REALLY fun... for us fans, anyway. GC coverage begins at 3pm ET Thursday. I think I heard that the pregame show starts at 2pm.
