Since we do not have a PGA Tour occasion this week...
And in view that we don't have an LPGA Tour occasion this week...
I can spend the gap speaking about the Web.Com Tour. Which may be very handy this week due to the fact the Chiquita Classic has been moved to the River Run Golf Club, just outside of Davidson NC. That's perhaps an hour or so south of wherein I stay, perhaps a half-hour north of Charlotte and a couple of minutes east of Lake Norman, in case you're looking for it on a map. Here's a photograph from the PGATOUR.Com website. Looks high-quality, doesn't it?
This is the second of the 4 new Playoff occasions, the primary of which changed into received by way of Trevor Immelman ultimate week. (Trevor may be gambling this week, btw.) Patrick Cantlay, who turned into runner-up remaining week, will no longer play; he is nevertheless having lower back issues. He need to have enough cash to get his card, however I'll be surprised if he would not attempt to get out for either the 1/3 or fourth match within the series to make sure he locks it up.
You might also want to bookmark the Finals Money List page (just click on here to see it), which shows you how your preferred gamers are faring in their pursuit in their 2014 PGA Tour cards. Note that only 14 of the 25 gamers who already earned a Tour card display up on it (their finish positions from the regular season are on the a ways proper of the desk). The Top25 are gambling for seeding proper now -- except for Michael Putnam, who received a totally-exempt card by using triumphing the Web.Com Tour's normal season cash list.
Because all 50 cards are now taken into account for the duration of the seeding, it is possible to win the #2 card at some point of the regular season but grow to be #50 in case you play poorly in the Playoffs. This really makes things exciting! The winner of the Finals Money List -- assuming it is now not Michael Putnam once more -- can even get a completely-exempt card. (I bet the #2 player will get it if Putnam ought to pop out on top again.)
There WILL be another Q-School later this yr but it's going to offer playing cards ONLY for the Web.Com Tour. These four occasions are the brand new route to the PGA Tour. (Unless you are Jordan Spieth.)
That must get you up-to-speed at the occasion.
ONE LAST THING: GC's coverage begins at 3pm ET today. (They'll probably air a Golf Central PreGame at 2:30pm.)
BUT HERE'S A BONUS FOR READING THE WHOLE POST! (I'm feeling charitable today.) Since this IS the Chiquita Classic and many of you have seen the Chiquita commercial with the minions fighting over the banana and wondered, "Where did they get that?," here's the mini-movie that some of their footage came from -- which is pretty cool -- followed by the commercial. (Don't worry, I won't subject you to the "Minions Banana Song" the minions sing to the tune of the old Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann." That thing's 4 minutes long! It's a fate too horrible to contemplate...)
