Seamus Power with his PGA Tour card for 2016-17
Web.com Tour Championship cancelled due to Hurricane; Power gets 22nd card
The threat of Hurricane Matthew has forced PGA TOUR officials to cancel this week’s Web.com Tour Championship in Florida.
As a result, the four-tournament Web.com Tour Finals were deemed official through three events, with 25 players securing their TOUR cards for the 2016-17 season.
This means that West Waterford's Seamus Power, who finished ninth in the regular season rankings to earn one of 25 cards, is awarded the 22nd card of 50 in the pecking order for the 2016-17 season, which begins with the Safeway Open in Napa, California, next week.
The first set of 25 PGA TOUR cards for the 2016-17 season was issued at the conclusion of the WinCo Foods Portland Open presented by Kraft Heinz in August, with Regular Season leading money winner Wesley Bryan leading the way with $449,392 in earnings.
