Rob labritz among five golfers to earn 2022 tour cards at pga tour champions q-school, share this article.

Rob Labritz, twice the low PGA professional at the PGA Championship, won medalist honors at PGA Tour Champions Qualifying Tournament Friday and is among five golfers who earned 2022 tour cards.

Labritz, the director of golf at the GlenArbor Golf Club in Bedford Hills, New York, was low pro at the 2010 and 2019 PGA Championships. He won Q school by three shots. He finished 17 under after posting scores of 65-71-67-64 at TPC Tampa Bay. Labritz has played in the PGA Championship eight times but beyond that, he has appeared in just three PGA Tour events in his career.

“I’ve been envisioning this happening. And it did, which is crazy,” Labritz said. “It shows the power of the mind. I’m beyond the moon. I’m almost speechless. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this, to know that my golf game held up.”

David Branshaw and Thongchai Jaidee finished tied for second at 14 under. Jaidee’s third-round 63 was the best score of the week. Roger Rowland finished solo fourth at nine under, while Tom Gillis was solo fifth at eight under.

Roger Rowland played just 3 Tour events in his life, never made a cut, grinded for years on Nike Tour, the last time he had status was 21 years ago. Played the Sunbelt Senior Tour for long time making ends meet. At 54, he just shot a back nine 30 to get his Champions Tour card. — Monday Q Info (@acaseofthegolf1) December 10, 2021

The week started with 79 golfers vying for fully exempt status into open, full-field events on the 2022 PGA Tour Champions schedule. The next 25 finishers Friday are now eligible to compete in open qualifiers in Champions in 2022. Notable names among that group include: Guy Boros (T-6), Skip Kendall and Mario Tiziani (T-10), Matt Gogel and Paul Stankowski (T-14), Ken Duke and Charlie Wi (T-17) and Thomas Levet (T-19).

Tiziani is Steve Stricker’s brother-in-law and has caddied for Stricker on a few occasions.

Interesting names who came up short: Harrison Frazer (T-32), Omar Uresti (T-32), Olin Browne (T-44), Jonathan Kaye (T-47), Neil Lancaster (T-51) Frank Lickliter II (T-61).

Among those who withdrew during the final day included Carlos Franco, Jose Coceres and 70-year-old Dick Mast, who started on the PGA Tour Champions in 2001; he began his PGA Tour career in 1974.

2022 Korn Ferry Tour Q-School final results: Prize money payouts, leaderboard, status earned

The 2022 Korn Ferry Tour Q-School final leaderboard is headed by medalist Bo Hoag, who took top honors at The Landings Club (Marshwood / Magnolia) in Savannah, Ga.

Hoag finished the 72-hole event at 14-under 270, earning fully-exempt status on the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour season. Chan Kim finished in solo second place, a shot out of the top spot.

That means Hoag is not subject to the Korn Ferry Tour reshuffles, which occur every four events and are based on money earned to that point in the season.

The players finishing 2nd through 10th and ties earn 12 guaranteed starts and exempt status through the third reshuffle. The players finishing 11th through 40th and ties earn eight guaranteed starts and status through the second reshuffle. Every other player earns conditional Korn Ferry Tour status.

Hoag won the $50,000 the winner's share of the $480,000 purse.

Korn Ferry Tour Q-School recap notes

The Korn Ferry Tour Q-School does not offer any PGA Tour status. Every player who gets to final stage gets status on the Korn Ferry Tour, but without guaranteed starts, players are likely forced to Monday qualify.

However, with reshuffles every four events, a player who Monday qualifies and does well can improve their status dramatically in short order.

There is no limit to the number of fully-exempt players possible, so long as those players all tied for first place.

Five players emotionally earn pga tour champions status at final stage of q-school.

• Max Schreiber ,

In one of golf’s toughest tests, five players secured full PGA Tour Champions status for 2023 at the Final Stage of Q-School.

Richard Green earned medalist honors at TPC Scottsdale with a score of 18 under, four shots clear of runner-up Wes Short Jr.

Green, a 51-year-old Aussie, is a three-time DP World Tour winner and won twice this year on the European Senior Tour. He placed T-4 at the 2007 Open Championship, but has never played full-time in the United States.

"(Earning PGA Tour Champions status) means everything,” Green said. “I’ve had a long career playing overseas in Europe and I’ve wanted to always play in America. I tried my best to get a card on the PGA Tour in the 2000s and just fell short all the time. It’s like a goal achieved, so that’s a big deal.”

Short Jr. claimed full status on the tour in which he’s already made 213 starts and won twice. The 59-year-old Texan and 2005 Shriners Children’s Open winner had only one senior tour top-10 in 2022, but will have a chance to get back in the winner’s circle in 2023 with full status.

Three players — Tim O’Neal, Brian Cooper and David McKenzie — tied for third at 13 under to claim the final three cards for next season. Finishers 6-30 and ties notched associate membership, gaining access to weekly tournament qualifiers, starting with the Chubb Classic in February.

Cooper, a native of Pittsburgh, has no PGA Tour starts to his name, but has played eight times on the senior circuit, with his best finish a T-43 at the 2019 Principal Charity Classic.

Cooper has openly battled depression this year and was overwhelmed with emotion in the scoring tent.

“It’s been a hard year,” Cooper said afterward. “I had shoulder surgery and it was pretty significant, so to get through all that, it’s pretty — it’s hard to put into words ... I worked so hard for this.”

"It's hard to put into words." ❤️ Brian Cooper ( @CoopsGolf ) was overcome by emotion after earning his PGA TOUR Champions card through Final Stage of Q-School. pic.twitter.com/2iSD0QrZPu — PGA TOUR Champions (@ChampionsTour) December 10, 2022

McKenzie, an Aussie who has made 102 senior tour stars, also earned his card after an emotional year. The 55-year-old left the tour early last season to see his brother before he passed away.

“I had him riding on my collar today,” McKenzie said.

And last but not least, O’Neal. The Savannah, Georgia, native is considered the elder statesman of the APGA Tour. Earlier in his career, he suffered multiple heartbreaks while trying to qualify for the PGA Tour, but this time, O’Neal was able to close the deal after gearing up for this opportunity since turning 50 in August. He earned two PGA Tour Champions exemptions earlier this year.

“Man, I’m really at a loss of words,” O’Neal told PGATour.com . “I’ve been going to Q-School for a long time, and for me to get status, my first year going to Champions Tour Q-School, just crazy happy right now. I’m at a loss for words, but it’s been a long time coming for me.”

PGA Tour Loyalty Rewarded: Tiger Woods Receives Equity Payout Of $100 Million

After turning down an offer between $700 million to $800 million to play with LIV, the PGA Tour rewarded Woods for staying loyal.

Nearly two years ago, when many professional golfers were lured to the LIV Golf Invitational Series financed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Tiger Woods resisted the lucrative chance to join them.

Golf.com reported that he rejected an offer between $700 million to $800 million to play with LIV. According to The Telegraph , the PGA Tour awarded him a payday of $100 million for staying loyal to the association.

That loyalty to the PGA Tour was appreciated when Woods reportedly received an email stating he would receive up to $100 million in equity. Fellow golfer, Rory McIlroy is allegedly getting $50 million for sticking with them. Strategic Sports Group is responsible for paying the golfers and many others who resisted the temptation to leave the PGA Tour and join LIV. The sports group, comprised of a collective group of investors led by Liverpool FC owner Fenway Sports, helped create PGA Tour Enterprises, a new non-profit organization to which they contributed $3 billion.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Woods and other PGA Tour players were set to become equity holders in PGA Tour Enterprises, according to  MSN . The deal, finalized after months of negotiations, marks a significant moment in sports history as players will now  own a share of the PGA Tour , a concept unprecedented in professional sports.

The $3 billion investment from Strategic Sports Group, led by Fenway Sports Group, is a groundbreaking agreement that not only places the value of PGA Tour Enterprises at $12.3 billion but also ushers in a new era for the golf industry. The large amount of equity given to certain players will be based on criteria such as career accomplishments, recent achievements, and Tour status.

The Telegraph reported that the money given to loyal PGA Tour loyalists will be split between 193 golfers, with $750 million earmarked to the 36 superstars the organization picks. It is projected that after McIlroy gets a reported $50 million, the other golfers in for a big payday will be Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, who will be given equity worth about $30 million.

2024 Zurich Classic odds, field: Surprising PGA picks, predictions by model that's nailed 11 majors

Sportsline's proven model simulated the zurich classic of new orleans 2024 10,000 times and revealed its pga golf picks.

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay look to reclaim some team magic when they pair back up for the 2024 Zurich Classic. The PGA Tour's yearly team event tees off Thursday at TPC Louisiana in New Orleans, and 80 two-man teams will be in attendance for tee off on Thursday. Schauffele and Cantlay were the winning duo back in 2022 and they are the 5-1 favorites on the 2024 Zurich Classic odds board. Should you back this pair of California natives with your 2024 Zurich Classic picks? Or should you back Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry at 8-1 odds?

Will Zalatoris and Sahith Theegala are listed at 11-1 in the lastest 2024 Zurich Classic odds, and Collin Morkiawa and Kurt Kitayama follow at 16-1. Defending Zurich Classic champions Nick Hardy and David Riley are 80-1 longshots to have repeat success. Before making any 2024 Zurich Classic picks, be sure t o see the golf predictions and projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine .

Our proprietary model, built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has been red-hot since the PGA Tour resumed in June of 2020. In fact, the model is up more than $9,000 on its best bets since the restart, nailing tournament after tournament.

McClure's model correctly predicted Scottie Scheffler would finish on top of the leaderboard at the 2024 Masters, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Players Championship, and the RBC Heritage this season. McClure also included Hideki Matsuyama in his best bets to win the 2024 Genesis Invitational. That bet hit at +9000, and for the entire tournament, McClure's best bets returned nearly $1,000.

The model also predicted Jon Rahm would be victorious at the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. At the 2023 Masters, the model was all over Rahm's second career major victory heading into the weekend. Rahm was two strokes off the lead heading into the third round, but the model still projected him as the winner. It was the second straight Masters win for the model, which also nailed Scheffler winning in 2022.

In addition, McClure's best bets included Nick Taylor (70-1) winning the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, Jason Day (17-1) winning outright at the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson, and Rickie Fowler (14-1) finishing on top of the leaderboard at the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This same model has also nailed a whopping 11 majors entering the weekend and hit the Masters three straight years. Anyone who has followed it has seen massive returns.

Now that the Zurich Classic 2024 field is finalized, SportsLine simulated the tournament 10,000 times, and the results were surprising. Head to SportsLine now to see the projected leaderboard .

Top 2024 Zurich Classic predictions 

One major surprise the model is calling for at the Zurich Classic 2024: McIlroy and Lowry, who've combined for 26 wins on the PGA Tour, barely crack the top five. McIlroy is set to play in his fourth consecutive event when he tees off at TPC Louisiana. He's failed to crack the top-10 in seven of his eight starts on the PGA Tour this season, while Lowry has finished T-19 or worse in six of his past eight events. 

Both players have struggled mightily on the green this season. McIlroy enters the 2024 Zurich Classic ranked 78th in strokes gained: putting (0.119) and 72nd in putting average (1.758), a big reason why he ranks 98th in scoring average (70.44). Lowry, meanwhile, ranks 99th in strokes gained: putting (-0.012) and 143rd in putts per round (29.38), which doesn't bode well for their chances to finish on top of the leaderboard this week. 

Another surprise: Rasmus Højgaard and Nicolai Højgaard, 35-1 longshots, make a strong run at the title. The twin brothers have a much better chance to win it all than their odds imply, so they're a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.

The Danish twosome has been making headlines abroad for years now, becoming the first brothers to ever win events in consecutive weeks on the European Tour back in 2021. They are now making noise on the PGA Tour as Nicolai finished second at the Farmers Insurance Open back in January and finished T16 in his first ever Masters appearance earlier this month. Nicolai also played this event last year, so his experience makes the duo an under-the-radar competitor at the 2024 Zurich Classic.  See who else to pick here . 

How to make 2024 Zurich Classic picks

The model is also targeting three other teams with odds of 35-1 or longer to make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model's picks here .

Who will win the 2024 Zurich Classic, and which longshots will stun the golfing world? Check out the Zurich Classic 2024 odds below and then visit SportsLine to see the projected Zurich Classic leaderboard , all from the model that's nailed 11 golf majors, including the last three Masters.

Golf Australia signs deal with LIV in first partnership with Saudi-backed tour

• Cameron Smith’s Ripper GC and LIV to help fund junior program
• PGA of Australia still aligned with DP World Tour

LIV Golf has struck a deal to help fund Golf Australia’s junior program, in the first formal relationship between the steward of the game in Australia and the Saudi Arabia-backed entity.

The arrangement – which involves LIV and its Ripper GC franchise of Australian players led by Cameron Smith – has been in negotiations for weeks.

A formal announcement is expected in the coming days to coincide with the LIV tournament in Adelaide, according to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald .

The deal sees LIV and Ripper GC make it cheaper for some children to access My Golf, the junior program run by GA.

GA also has staff working on a My Golf activation in Adelaide this week alongside the LIV tournament promotions.

In 2022-23, 33,000 children participated in My Golf, according to GA’s annual report, a figure that grew 22% on the previous year.

The cost of My Golf varies depending on the location and type of program. A single after school session can cost less than $50, but a regular hit over a school term is priced in the hundreds of dollars.

GA’s decision to accept the subsidies from LIV is the first major step by Australia’s golf establishment towards the upstart tour.

The PGA of Australia (PGAA), the body representing tournament and club professionals and organiser of the Australasian Tour, is still aligned with LIV rival the DP World Tour.

As manager of the game in Australia GA’s remit is on building participation and the body receives funding from the federal government.

However, GA and the PGAA have largely combined operations, adding a layer of complexity to the deal.

GA’s chief executive, James Sutherland, said last month Australia looked at LIV differently from other parts of the world.

“There’s clearly an ‘anti’ or a conservative sentiment about the Saudis in the US, and the further east you go on a world map from America, the more moderate the views are,” he said.

LIV commissioner Greg Norman said on Wednesday he was “very proud” of investments his organisation was making into golf generally.

“If it wasn’t for LIV, these additional investment dollars going into the sport would never have happened,” he said.

In excess of 80,000 people are expected to attend the LIV Adelaide tournament this weekend.

Norman has described the Adelaide event as the “benchmark” for LIV worldwide. LIV golf is funded by Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund.

Griffin Wood on where he’s played most of his professional golf to this point… “I've got a lot of mini tours in the U.S., played on the Dakotas Tour, I played everywhere, APT a little bit, the Asher Tour out in Phoenix and I played (PGA TOUR) Canada two years ago. I had conditional, so I played there half a season. Last year I had conditional, but I didn't get into anything. Yeah, so mostly in the U.S. I've been playing full time for about five years in total even though I'm a little older. I had to take some time off. A little later progression.”

Wood on what was behind his extended break from professional golf… “ I had a back injury where I couldn't play for a couple years. When I came back, I was not shooting 60s on courses. I had to work to support myself and try and get my game back and try and play as much as I could. I played one year out of college. So I graduated in 2012, played for a year. Played pretty well, like was ‑‑ so I kind of proved to myself I could do it in small mini tours. Then I got hurt right before Q‑School right out of college, it would have been 2013. Then I was off for a couple years and was kind of pedaling around for a while. I've been back for the last four, I'd say, playing pretty full time and trying to get back.”

Wood on the playoff at Monday’s open qualifier… “I was playing solid golf and I bogeyed my last hole in regulation. It was a pretty easy hole, and I was pretty devastated because I thought that would be the difference. But I rebounded really well, because after I made that bogey, you know, you can go south quick. Me and another guy, Matt Atkins, birdied the first hole in a 5‑for‑2 (playoff). I had my head on straight, that was the big thing, and I was able to play right after I finished. I went right to the playoff hole, which helped. We finished in the dark, we didn't have any more time to play another hole and it worked out perfectly.”
