Q-School

[Roughnecks]

Ok, so I know Q-school as we knew it is gone, but what are they going to do for exempt status on the Web.com tour?  I cant find this info.  Anyone have any idea where I can find this info?

One more year of Qschool then its gone. But if you haven't signed up yet, then yes, its gone... It'll probably be up next season on pgatour.com?

I think Ben is right...they haven`t announced it yet as far as I am aware, but would guess that they have something similar to the current Q school with the top 50 or so getting full Web.com cards and the rest who make finals getting conditional status. http://pgatq.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/pgatq12/event/pgatq1230/agenda.htm?agenda=b8f426c8-605d-4298-a61e-66155bec7909

What will be interesting to me is if there is a drop off in the number of guys who enter q school.  It will still be worth it for guys who have a legit chance to be a successful player long term on the PGA Tour, but for marginal guys, having to play a year on the Web.com tour before getting onto the big stage may not seem as worth it.

I figured there had to be some sort of Q-school still.  They have to get more spots filled on Web.com, but they haven't announced anything about it yet?  I hate how late in the year all this stuff gets announced.  You think they could figure out a calendar sooner.

As Ben said, 2012 is all figured out for eligibility for PGA & Web.com in 2013.    If you are talking about getting out there in 2014, you will likely have to sign up during summer of 2013 and play that fall.  I think one reason they don`t announce these things well ahead of time is that they are trying to work out sponsors, tournament dates, course availability for Q school sites, etc.  In short, there are a lot of moving parts that have to be put in place.
