It looks like I'm currently 10th in the Web earnings... I guess I'll pass on my PGA exemption next week and try to fight Bob tooth and nail to keep my spot on the money list.

Stand corrected - Battlefield promotion is good for this year and the following year as per the Web.com Tour (real life) and that's something we can mimic here as well.
(real rule) • Three-Win Promotion -- if a player wins three Web.com Tour events in the same calendar year, he receives an immediate promotion to the PGA TOUR. For the year in which he earned the promotion, the player has status via the 25th category on the PGA TOUR "All-Exempt Priority Rankings" (see Section 2 of the PGA TOUR Media Guide). The player has fully-exempt status the next year on the PGA TOUR via Category 22 (same as Leading Money Winner from Web.com Tour).

Looks like I'm 54th on the money list. I have an exemption for W33. Should I use it?

Should I use it? if I've understood it correctly there would be no reason to not use it unless u have a realistic chance of making top 10 or 3 wins on web this season I agree with this. Blake: The below I would need verified by staff, but I think there is a difference in your money rank that it shows and the actual money list among ACTIVE Web.com card holders. The position on the money list where you see 54th includes ALL players who have played on Web at any point during the season. Many have moved up to PGA/Euro or are down down in the CC tours. For your true rank, go to Web.com stats and they click on the 'Earnings' tab to sort it from high to low. The problem here is that you have to count down yourself to see your actual rank. Blake, your rank on the money list shows 54th (that is among all who have played Web at any point this year, current Web card holders or not), but if you go under stats like explained above, that will only show earnings among those active Web.com card holders who have played at least one event. I counted down and you are 37th by using this method (with $114,828). Current #10 is $266,229. I cannot speak for you, but your spot seems safe for the Web.com Finals if you choose to use the exemption, but it is up to you to decide if you can make up that ground in 4 weeks (32, 33, 34 and 35). ALSO!!! There will be end of season info coming very soon, I would hold off until we see what that info is. There may be new wrinkles that we do not know about. You still have over 36 hours to decide.

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll go ahead and use it. I doubt I would be able to make the top 10.

I've played in mostly calm winds @ Blue Oak and even with other PGA players I have shot -6, -7, and -11. I am inline with them. Other than the 14th hole, which is a par 5 with a street/road along the right side, this course is great. I only mean the slight on #14 as a visual thing and slightly as a too narrow of a pinching fairway on a par 5. The green and protection around it is tough, so the narrowish fairway isn't really needed. It's still a decent hole, I am just being picky here.

Any advice as to what I should do? I'm "Tynan Vee" on TGCTours.com
I am on track for a possible top 10 this week, but haven't played in enough tournaments to be high up on the money list.

I would await word on the end of season events and tweaks by the staff before making any decision. It is supposed to be up soon, hopefully.

To be fair, you should be suspended this week as per the DQ rule, so I recommend playing and submitting your rounds if you register for an event :-P
Other than that it's top 5 for exemption onto Pro Tours. If you play well enough to achieve that I suggest taking it.
