I'm not familiar with the minor league tours, so sorry if this is a dumb question.  I couldn't find anything with a quick perusal of the site - http://www.ngatour.com/ - do the top money winners somehow get to the web.com tour?

While there are no direct affiliations between the NGA Tour and the Web.com Tour or PGA TOUR, the NGA Tour continues to have more players than any other in developmental golf move up to the premier tours each year, be it through the season ending Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament (formerly PGA TOUR Q School), Monday qualifying into PGA TOUR & Web.com Tour events, or receiving one of the many Web.com Tour (and in some cases even PGA TOUR) event exemptions. The NGA Tour received exemptions into the 2014 Sanderson Farms Championship and 2013 & 2014 Reno-Tahoe Open PGA TOUR events.

The NGA Tour has received over 30 PGA TOUR & Web.com Tour event exemptions since the 2010 season.

NGA Tour members such as Peter Malnati, Ted Potter Jr, and Russell Knox, just to name a few, all moved up in-season through Monday Qualifiers.

It would be great if the PGA TOUR would take us over as the official developmental tour for the Web.com Tour here in the states and did the same deal as the NEC Series & PGA Tour Canada where the leading money gets full Web.com Tour status, 2 through 5 get conditional, and 6 through 10 get into final stage of the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament.

If you have any further questions or interest, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
