Rory won the tour championship in a dominant fashion. Good for him, but as we have pointed out many times, it doesn’t mean that much to a top guy like McIlroy, or his legacy. The $payoff is nice but Rory’s already farting through silk. Professional golfers are judged by how many majors they win throughout their career. By that standard, McIlroy came up short in 2019.
While everyone was focused on East Lake, the more interesting action was on the web.com tour, as players jockeyed for positioning in the Top 25, and the PGA tour status at stake. Here are some of the names of the players that managed to earn their card for 2020:
Sebastian Cappelen
Rhein Gibson
Nelson Ledesma
Vince Covello
Andrew Novak
Kristoffer Ventura
Ryan Brehm
Xinjun Zham
Bo Hoag
Ryan Shelton
Vincent Whaley
Lanto Griffin
These are the underdogs going into the next season and the players we are going to pay close attention to. The talent is there. The game is almost all mental. Keep…it…Toegether.
Go get ‘em, fellas.
