I noticed in the manage your schedule feature, it said there will be a maximum number of events one may compete in. Is there any decision on the maximum number? It doesn't go into detail. I'd compete in every tournament (or most of them) if I could, but since that's not an option, I'm just curious how many events I will be able to compete in?

This is something we are still working out. However, the number will likely be around 75%, and it will probably only apply to PGA Tour players. Those players will have the opportunity to play in a European or Executive Tour event that week, if they so choose.

Why don't you let the players who qualify for the PGA Card play every event on tour if they choose, and those who do will have 75% of their placings counted (obviously the better placings of that 75 percent). I understand that not all real life tour players play every single event on tour, but this is "video game" life, and I am sure a lot of people are chomping at the bit to play in the PGA Tour every week instead of just 75 percent of the time.

Players can play every week - just plan to skip a lower tiered PGA Tour event while there's an important European Tour event that same week. Those that are struggling on the PGA Tour will likely stay on PGA that week since their chances of winning would increase while all the top players play the higher end tournament on the European Tour. They would just have to manage their schedule differently. |

Your concern is noted, but the entire premise of this tour is based on realism, and a true tour simulation. There is no reason for the best players in the world to be playing in the John Deere Classic. This will allow other players a chance to compete and win a tournament without the top players in every tournament, just like in real life.
Also, the PGA members will still be able to play a European or a Executive tour event.

And, depending on the field, there will be Sponsor's Exemptions given out to Web.com players giving them the chance for a pretty nice payday. |

So, what will the timeframe be for entering a tournament, and how soon will that info be posted? Also, if someone withdraws after entering (i.e. vacation or family emergency), will that slot be filled?

Also, if someone withdraws after entering (i.e. vacation or family emergency), will that slot be filled? Hi guys, we're still sorting out the details - and will be posting soon. At this point there are a lot of changes coming, including to the schedule management aspect, so please bear with us until we have it locked down tight and all the verbiage changed - we think it's an improvement on what we currently have posted. Shouldn't be much longer before we update and post the new info. |
