It’s coming down to the wire for some PGA Tour players. Some players are trying to crack into the top 30 to qualify for the Tour Championship. Some are simply hoping to crack the top 125 to secure their tour cards for 2006. The players in 126-150 don’t get their tour card, but do manage to get into some tournaments through sponsor’s exemptions. Beyond 150…. well, it’s either Q-School, the Champions Tour for the 50 and over crowd, or time to get that job working as a club pro.

Below is the current money list for you to see who is hovering around the crucial levels, and who is circling the drain.

Some interesting players who are circling the drain:

-David Duval is at #260 with total 2006 winnings of $7,630 for 19 events. That’s a smokin’ $401.57 per event. That’s $40.15 for his caddy per event.
-Hal Sutton is at #247 with $18,320
-Paul Azinger is solidifying his position as a golf announcer at #186.
-Matt Kuchar 157.
-Lee Janzen 154.
-Duffy Waldorf 148.
-Kevin Stadler 168.

Note that some players on the list may have other exemptions due to certain wins or majors which give them several years…
