Planet Golf — 30 September 2013 by GW staff and news services
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – With the conclusion of the 2013 Web.com Tour season today at the Web.com Tour Championship, 50 PGA Tour cards and priority positions for 2013-14 have been determined. All 50 card earners are eligible to begin their 2013-14 PGA Tour seasons in two weeks at the Frys.com Open in California.
Leading the class of 50 who are headed to the PGA Tour are Michael Putnam and John Peterson. Putnam finished the Web.com Tour Regular Season No. 1 in earnings, while Peterson did the same through the Web.com Tour Finals. Both are fully exempt on Tour next year and earned a spot in next May’s Players Championship.
The 50 who secured 2013-14 PGA Tour playing privileges and where they finished in terms of priority (1-50) in the Web.com Tour eligibility category that will be used at the start of the upcoming season are:
