The 4 week Web.com Tour Finals started this week and includes the top 75 from the Web.com Tour along with PGA Tour players who finished this year 126-200 on the Fed Ex Cup point list who have not otherwise secured their PGA Tour cards for 2014.

This weeks field includes:

Trevor Immelman

Kevin Na

Patrick Cantlay

Sean O'Hair

Johnny Vegas

Bud Cauley

Seung-Yul Noh

John Peterson

Ryo Ishikowa

Steve Marino

Jamie Lovemark

Troy Matteson

Troy Merritt

Len Mattiace

Joe Durant

Jason Gore

Chris DiMarco

Marcel Siem

Ricky Barnes

Chad Campbell

and a bunch of other players- both up and coming as well as former PGA tour winners who may have suffered injuries or poor results this season.

At the end of the Web.com Tour Championship September 29, 50 players will have their PGA Tour cards for 2014.  Michael Putnam, the 2013 regular season Web.com money winner is guaranteed a full card along with the money winner for this 4 event series and both will get entry into the 2014 Players Championship as well as some of the other top events.

The remainder of the regular season top 25 are guaranteed PGA Tour cards, but money won in this four event series will determine their priority.  The other 25 cards are based strictly on money won this month.

Here is the current leaderboard- http://www.pgatour.com/webcom/leaderboard.html

Some names used to be big names, some of them we probably all thought were going to be good, some are still young and up and coming like Cantlay.  What happened to Ricky Barnes?  A few years back he was all over TV in tournaments usually up near the front and playing well, then all the sudden just disappeared and fighting for his card now?

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

Other than 2010 when he won 1.8 M, I don't think Ricky Barnes has won over 1 M any year as a pro.  We remember him because of his good showing in the Masters as an amateur and t2 at the 2009 US Open but he is really just a journeyman pro- I don't say that as a put down as I have a lot of respect for the guys who are excellent players but have to fight and grind to make a living on tour- you have to have a lot of game to be 300 in the world, but it means that when you are a little off, you are going to struggle to keep your card.

Also in good position are

Bud Cauley

Heath Slocum

Russell Knox

Billy Hurley III

Jhonattan Vegas

who started the week outside the top 50, but are currently projected inside the top 50.

Ricky Barnes looks like he will get the help he needed as he is now projected at 32- the big move up is because the top 25 of the Web.com still get cards even if they finish outside the top 50 for the Final series.  That means players outside that will either need to be in about the top 40 or they will end up outside the "top 50"

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
