PGA Tour Season Wraps Up at Disney

And then there was one: Just one tournament remaining in the 2009 PGA Tour season. That tournament is this week's Children's Miracle Network Classic at Disney World Resort.

Just one more chance for those golfers outside the Top 125 on the money list to get inside the Top 125 and secure a full tour card for 2010. And those golfers must be antsy - they've been waiting a while. It's been three weeks since the last event, the Frys.com Open. The Viking Classic two weeks ago was rained out, and last week was a bye week.

The Viking Classic rainout means that Rickie Fowler and Jamie Lovemark both get into the field this week without having to get sponsor exemptions. They both fininshed in the Top 10 at the Frys.com - taking part in a 3-man playoff - which would have gotten them into the field at the Viking Classic. Fowler planned to play the Viking, while Lovemark had to skip it for a Q-School qualifier. Because the Viking was canceled, those automatic entries by virtue of the Top 10s carry over to the Disney.

And both young golfers, with another high finish, have a chance to earn enough money this week to automatically qualify for the 2010 Tour, bypassing Q-School finals. Fowler - with $553,700 in earnings, which gets him close to the Top 125 - has a much better shot than Lovemark, who has $453,872, the equivalent of 147th on the money list.

The bubble boy going into the tournament - the player sitting at No. 125 - is David Duval. And the former No. 1-ranked player needs to play well this week. He's used up all the exemptions he had available to keep his card - one for being in the Top 25 in career earnings two years ago; another for being in the Top 50 in career earnings last year. Duval appeared as if from nowhere to finish second at the U.S. Open in June. Be he made only four cuts prior to that, and has made just one cut since.

Also in the field this week is Haymes Snedeker, who joins his brother Brandt by virtue of winning Big Break X: Michigan; and double-heart transplant recipient Erik Compton, who received a sponsor exemption for the second straight year.
