Planet Golf — 25 September 2018 by GW staff and news services
Folks ready to compete on PGA Tour

Here’s a look at the new class of 50 players that have earned status on the 2018-19 PGA Tour.

University of Virginia alum Denny McCarthy won the season-ending sixth-annual Web.com Tour Finals, where 25 players secured their PGA TOUR cards.

Last month, the Web.com Tour awarded a first set of 25 PGA TOUR cards for the 2018-19 season at the conclusion of the WinCo Foods Portland Open. South Korea native Sungjae Im continued his momentum throughout the year, winning the WinCo Foods to end the year with two victories and six additional top-10 finishes.

Im’s performance continued into the Finals, allowing him to win the combined money list. Im became the first player in Tour history to lead the money list wire-to-wire for the duration of the season and became the first Korean-born player to be named a money list winner.

By virtue of winning their respective money titles, Im and McCarthy have earned fully-exempt status on the PGA TOUR next year, which includes a spot in THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, located just minutes from Atlantic Beach.

Five of the 25 players who secured their PGA TOUR cards solely through the Web.com Tour Finals will be rookies during the 2018-19 season. The top 25 are:
