Earning your PGA card on exemption from Web

[Deleted]

Currently the European Tour allows for all on exemption making the cut and Top 70 to earn a Euro card.  The PGA allows only the top finisher (with ties) under the same guidelines.

Looking at the participation rates this season, the PGA Tour is nowhere near full week in and week out.  Could the criteria for making the PGA Tour on exemption be made the same as is on the European Tour currently?

If the numbers start to reach capacity (seems unlikely until a TGC2 launch), the rules could be scaled back.

What do you think, Doyley ?

I also think this may help in a small way for players earning a Web exemption to use that exemption instead of passing on it since the criteria is a bit more relaxed for the PGA.

Me earning an exemption? Doubtful. 
Me earning an exemption to web? Lol. 
Me earning an exemption to PGA? Hahahahahaha.... 

But I will chip in my thoughts on this. The PGA and Euro are supposed to be equal here, but the current rule makes it so one is harder to get into than the other. 

I agree, we should make the criteria for those two tours equal.

The only changes to TGCT coding at this time are emergency basis only. Once Tim gives me a green light that he's free to work on stuff it's on the list of things to do.

Well look at that...
