COX CLASSIC 2013 WILL DECIDE WHO WINS US PGA TOUR CARDS
FROM THE WEB.COM TOUR WEBSITE
OMAHA, Nebraska -- The Cox Classic presented by Lexus of Omaha will be the final Regular Season event in 2013, a key week on the reconfigured Web.com Tour schedule, it was announced by tournament director Chad Mardesen and Web.com Tour president Bill Calfee.
With an entirely new qualifying structure in place next year, the Cox Classic will be the final event that determines two key elements regarding 2013-2014 US PGA Tour cards:
1) The 25 Web.com Tour leading money winners at the conclusion of the Cox Classic will be guaranteed a US PGA Tour card in 2013-14.
2) The top-75 Web.com Tour money winners at the conclusion of the Cox Classic will earn a spot in the inaugural Web.com Tour Finals that will begin the following week (Aug. 29-Sept. 1).
The 18th annual Cox Classic will be played Aug. 22-25 at Champions Run, the only course to host the event. The tournament purse will be $750,000, with a first prize of $135,000. Golf Channel will return to provide four-day coverage.
Beginning in 2013, all 50 US PGA Tour cards for each new season will come through the Web.com Tour. The Regular Season will run from February through the Cox Classic in August, followed by four Finals' events in September, to be played in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Charlotte, North Carolina, Columbus, Ohio and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
Only the top-75 money leaders from the Web.com Tour at the conclusion of the Regular Season will qualify for the Finals. They will be joined there by those players ranked 126 through 200 on the FedExCup points list at the end of the US PGA Tour season.
The four Web.com Tour Finals events will identify 25 additional players who will earn their US PGA Tour cards for the 2013-2014 season, with the top-25 Web.com Tour money leaders after the Cox Classic being guaranteed a TOUR card.
The Finals will determine priority ranking positions (which are used to form TOUR fields each week) based on a four-event Finals' money list.
