There are a lot of big names fighting for their cards. Lee Janzen is not looking too good. He's not going to make it. I'm sure he will still get into plenty of tournaments though as a result of sponsor's exemptions.

I wonder if he has any other exemptions. There are all kinds of one-time exemptions for accomplished palyers like Janzen. He did win the US Open twice.

Rich....Janzen has no other full year exemptions. He used his 1 time, Top 50 all time money list exemption this year. He will have to rely on sponsors exemptions only if he doesn't make it through.

How does that work? He is obviously behind the top 125 guys that kept their cards. He will be behind the Nationwide graduates. He will be behind the 30 guys that get their cards from Q-school. I assume he will be behind the guys that finished between 126th and 145th on the money list. Where does that leave him? That would put over 180 guys in front of him. I don't know how he could get into many tournaments. Even the top 10 guys from Q-school have trouble getting into tournmanets for the first month or two of the year.

he will get into some of the lesser tourneys....other than that...he will be writing alot of letters to sponsors, hoping for a spot. I hope for his sake that he was an enjoyable pro-am partner through the years.

It ain't like stakes racing in horseracing(where some stakes are 50k,and others are 500k.) These so called "lesser tournaments" pay nicely.It ain't like they pay LPGA Style.They win one of the lesser tournaments,and they get a 2 year exemption.Seems like the "lesser" tournaments would be the ones these guys need the most.They aren't gunna win the big ones(not usually.)I don't feel sorry for Janzen.He had a chance to win a tournament towards the end of the season,but turned woman(like he has done for the last like 5 years, atleast.)Mental mess(it ain't a talent problem with that one.)

BTW,this guy who already got a card,but played this week? This guy has to be doing awfully well,because you just don't do that without your game being damn good.This guy will make some good money this year.Good to see Gow giving himself a cushion.I think most golfers who aren't pros can probably relate to that guy(cuz he can go from great to awful so quickly..a real survivor type.)Poor guy should have won the B.C. Open atleast once.Isn't that the only tournament that the swing coach ever won(Harmon.)

Thanks Kev, I was wondering about that.
