Greetings ... Just read an interesting story on current Walt Disney co-leader Justin Leonard. It has to do with his current exempt status, and there's an explanation of the "victory compounding" rule which affects winners of big events like the Grand Slam Majors or the Players Championship or a World Golf Championship. Click-on the title text below for [url=http://espn.go.com/espn/print?id=7132708&type;=story#][b]Leonard's Exemption Secure Thru 2012[/b][/url] Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

The requirement is actually 15 years on tour (which I believe he just hit this year).

Also note he can lose the exemption at any time if he fails to maintain a scoring average of three strokes above the field average in the tournaments that he plays in, or fails to compete in at least one official PGA Tour event each calendar year.

When you posted, yes - but not as of the close of today's tournament: http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/info/?109

20

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Where are you getting your information?

Sorry  - my mistake, I was thinking about the number of wins, not the number of years.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
