Virginia golf fans will have at least one Wahoo alum to cheer for on the PGA Tour next season. Depending on how this weekend goes, they might even have two.
Denny McCarthy, a 2015 Virginia grad, secured his PGA Tour card this month with strong finishes in the first three events of the Web.com Tour playoffs. McCarthy finished 31st, 9th, and 17th in those events. He earned $43,000 for those efforts, which is enough to ensure that he’ll be one of the Top 25 playoff money earners. Those Top 25 players will graduate to the PGA Tour next season.
