This link was posted on the LIV thread in response to a question that I asked there. I felt that this might have been off-topic for that thread.

What is the minimum number of PGA Tour events a golfer must play each season? The minimum is pretty low.

A hypothetical situation: A PGAT player who does not have a win or lifetime exemption status plays in only 10 events during a season. In those ten events he earns enough points to qualify for a tour card for the next season. 

As I read the article, it seems to me that he would have to be ineligible for the tour card for the next season. He obviously loses his voting status for the next season, but does he get his tour card?

I have also read tonight on another site that the 25 event requirement has been relaxed somewhat (that article is from 2018). Does anyone know if that is correct? If so, what is the new relaxed requirement?

That's not the absolute current one, but you can probably find your answer in there.

      Those are better. Watch where the shaft points at the top, too. Bit over-rolled there (laid off).

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      First swings at after a 2.5 month forced hiatus. No surgery in the forecast at the moment! Doc said okay to start easing in gently over a few weeks. The effort is barely 30% here but felt solid.  I think my swing changed a few years ago after my right ankle injury (weight shift profile). I wonder if this may bring about another change. I certainly won't pivot on to the knee (left) aggressively any time soon, if ever. Could even be a good thing..heh.

      I mean, I just assume he mistyped something. 🙂 Promos were on X/Twitter and today I put the promo on IG. The full video is landscape (not good for Instagram) and too big for X (file size), so it's always been on YouTube.

      Slomo video of me working on the arms raising thing in the backswing. I think this is better, albeit I’m going fairly slowly and then stopping. Too darn cold to go outside and I don’t have room to safely make a full motion indoors, so this will have to do till I can make it to the range.

      Very concise and to the point.  I can attest; it makes the golf swing easier if you keep that right arm under control.
