oops, turns out my local kid with the great exemption for first 4 events on web.com tour earned from top 5 placing in china hasn't worked out...
not exactly sure if oversold, he didn't do homework or things changed.
i would seriously think that you would look very heavily into these things before making plans i.e. see the exact order of exemption for events.
apparently fewer events (???) this year on web.com and more guys moonlighting from pga tour (phoenix field a bit smaller than previous years so guys jump down).... note that this is just what i read in the newspaper. these aren't my own facts.
so a bit disappointing. he's not sure if he'll get into one event ........ but if i was even contemplating playing on say the canadian tour (1 good spot, 4 moderate spots on web.com and then a bunch of very conditional spots) i'd sure want to see exact what those top 5 spots gave me i.e. get out all the documentation. and then do things change anyway (i.e. some higher categories are somewhat open-ended??) so you can never really be sure
maybe they should have some lower $$$$$ web.com events that guarantee that everyone who got some sort of minimal conditional spot gets to play in an event or two. and those results would count towards getting on web.com next year, getting in some more events the current year but not promotion to pga the following year
another guy near here got some sort of web.com (nationwide? or successor?) status and then only got into 1 or 2 main tourneys and that was through monday qualifying anyway.
anyway, there's the article. educational for anyone who is looking to try professional golf.
