PGA is Insane> Q-School Changes
http://www.golf.com/tour-and-news/ch...erving-players
Orlando, Fla. -- Read my lips, commissioner. The PGA Tour is now a closed shop.
It's pretty simple. You can only qualify for the PGA Tour after you spend an entire season on the Nationwide tour. That's right, you have to serve a minimum one-year apprenticeship before you can play in the big leagues.
The definition of a closed shop is that it's not open to all. The PGA Tour isn't open to all. Hence, it's a closed shop.
Maybe the Tour's new system is OK. Maybe it's good for players to get a year of quality tournament competition under their belts. That's an argument. Fine. Just don't try to tell me it's not a closed shop. It is.
Commissioner Tim Finchem was asked this exact question earlier this week when he announced the changes.Last edited by Break68; 03-23-2012 at 08:25 AM.

Can big name amateurs still get in based on sponsors exemptions and then via the money list, assuming they make enough.

So does that mean they are removing the 3 wins and you get to go directly to the tour then?

From what I have read they still don't have all the details worked out yet, so it's hard to say whether or not the 3 win battlefield promotion will still exist.
Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

The PGA hasn't figured it all out yet. I have ready many articles on this and everyone including Tim Finchem is speculating at this point. It does not bode well for the PGA in my opinion.
Obviously you're not a golfer.

The PGA will be fine. Outside of the lunatic fringe of golf fanatics that actually cares about the Nationwide Tour and Q-school this is a non-issue.
It does suck for the guys who used to get cards via Q-School or the equivalent money exemption, assuming that is gone as well.Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!
