I am surprised these guys lost their Tour Cards after this season, but the following people are in Q-School, starting today:
Chris Riley
David Duval
Tim Herron
Tom Pernice
Colt Knost (Finished only 188th in FedEx Cup this year)
Brandt Jobe
Joe Ogilvie
Andy Svoboda (Nice kid who played at St. John's & lives near Winged Foot)
Jonathan Kaye
Jason Gore
Carlos Franco
Todd Hamilton (Had a Top 10 & 3 Top 25's in '09, but STILL only finished 123rd in FedEx Cup)
Cliff Kresge
and...................
Jesper Parnevik (I guess people associated w/ Elin Nordegren are having a rough off-season)

Rickie Fowler, who is probably the most promising young American, is playing and got off to a very bad start. He's got plenty of time to turn it around but it would be pretty surprising if he had to spend next year in the minors. If that happens, I'd bet anything that he gets one of those "battlefield promotions" for winning three events in a season. He's really good. He'll win majors some day.

I am surprised to see Hamilton on that list as well. Also, Joe Ogilvie. Didn't he play a lot on the European tour? If so, maybe he's trying to make the PGA his "permanent" home next season.

You sure you're not thinking of Geoff Ogilve?
Joe Ogilvie is an American (and a damn Dukie to boot). The PGA tour has always been his home, except when he was on the Nationwide tour.
Geoff Ogilve will not be in Q school for some time, if ever.

Hamilton said that if things go well he may play in Europe next year because his British Open win got him a 10 year exemption on the Euro tour.

Geoff Ogilve will not be in Q school for some time, if ever. You're exactly correct. I was thinking of the wrong guy. But given that was who I was thiking about, now you can see why I was shocked to see him in Q school. |

Good to see a post from Philly! I had to use my I-95 detour coming home Sunday after the game at the Linc! Got to Laurel from the Holiday Inn in Philly in 2 hours/52 minutes.
Go Birds!!!!

David Duval, damn. Too bad he couldn't have won the US Open. I imagine that would have enabled him to avoid this.

It would have given him a 10 year exemption.
