Ireland’s Seamus Power could breath a huge sigh of relief in regaining by just the slim amount of $287 membership of the 2017/18 PGA Tour.
Power secured the 25th place and the very last qualifying place into the new PGA Tour season starting later this week despite finishing well down the field in a share of 48th in today’s (Monday) concluding Web.Com Tour Championship in Florida.
And making it even more remarkable was the fact Power had only managed to make the halfway cut by a shot.

However, it was a horror last round start for Power who, after teeing-off his round from the 10th on the heavy rain-softened course, doubled the 15th and then bogeyed the 16th.
He regrouped to birdie the 18th, second, fourth and fifth holes and while he dropped a shot at seven Power’s effort was just good enough to win back his card in securing 25th place among the top-25 who gained full main Tour membership.
In fact, Power earned $37,937 in the Web.com ‘Finals 25’ event and $287 more than the 26th placed Canadian Adam Svensson who had missed the Tour Campionship cut.
And Power was soon jetting to the U.S. West Coast to take his place in Thursday’s starting $US 6.2m Safeway Open at Napa, California and the opening event of the new PGA Tour season.
