LOS ANGELES – When the PGA Tour transitioned to a split-calendar schedule and a FedEx Cup points-based exemption criteria, the circuit maintained a category for players who finished outside the top 125 in points but had made enough money to rank inside the top 125 in earnings.
That could end starting in the 2017-18 season if a proposal is passed next month by the policy board.
Players were informed via the monthly “green sheet” that removing the top 125 in earnings category will free up playing opportunities for players graduating from the Web.
