With the conclusion of the 2017 Web.com Tour Championship, the Web.com Tour Finals and Web.com Tour season ended. That meant the fate and priority order of 50 PGA Tour cards were decided for the 2017-18 PGA Tour season, which begins with the 2017 Safeway Open.
Under the existing Web.com Tour framework, there were two separate lists of players earning cards. The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour regular season money list earned cards and are ranked on their combined earning in all Web.com Tour events, including the Finals. Also, the top 25 players on the money list solely for the four Web.com Tour Finals events earned cards.
The winners of both of those money lists are fully exempt for the season ahead, so Chesson Hadley and Peter Uihlein are NOT subject to the reshuffles in the PGA Tour priority order every six or so events. They are in their own category of two players for the season, ahead of the other graduates. Every other player is subject to the reshuffle.
When it comes to determining the priority order in which they get into PGA Tour events, the PGA Tour goes in A-B order, with the No. 2 earning Web.com Tour regular season graduate getting top spot in that category, followed by the No. 2 earning Web.com Tour Finals gradate, and so on.
