BRADENTON, Fla. – It’s been five years since Mike Weir has played a full schedule. Weir expects that to change this year.
After teeing it up 24 times, mostly on the PGA Tour, in 2014, the 2003 Masters champ has failed to eclipse 15 events in a single year. Now 48, Weir will take advantage of a Web.com Tour exemption that gives status to past PGA Tour members aged 48-49, and he expects to play at least 20 times on the developmental circuit this season.
This week’s Lecom Suncoast Classic is his third start of the season and third straight week of competition.
