Correct, if he had a full season on the PGA we wouldn't be having this debate as he would have made the appropriate cash. Quite a tough gig to make X amount in a short time when returning from injury
Poulter needs 40k to keep tour card
- Thread starter shivas irons
- Start date

Does this mean he has to requalify for his card next season ?

It means for the rest of the season he has lost full playing rights so won't be able to play in any comp he wants. He will get invites into a lot of comps and needs to gain enough money/points to get in the top 125 to get his full playing rights back for next year.
He will get invites because of his career earnings and Ryder cup record but these will be very limited and yes he can try at Q school to get his card like everyone else.Basically he has lost his playing freedom, he will be told when and where he can play under these invites.

There is no Q school in the US, hasn't been for years
Yeah now called the Web.com finals,same thing really.
Personally I can see him going away and really grinding it out in the next few weeks and will get a few sponsor invites in the next month or so. It'll only take a couple of good finishes to get the card sorted and of course a win will give some form of exemption (I believe) and so while it's a set back its not the end of his US career just yet

He shot 1 under on friday (round a very long course iirc) so he's hardly finished, watching his iron play, that's where he needs to improve as I saw a lot of pushes and pulls.

I wonder if this will teach him a little humility?
I seem to remember him openly slagging the standard of the players at an amateur event at Woburn a while ago on social media. Also didn't he get someone sacked from their job recently?

If the PGA season runs roughly December to November why is he losing his card part way through the season and not at the end?

It's already been explained on here. He had a medical exemption
I dont think Poulter got the guy sacked he reported a guy to his sports college where he worked who was giving Poulter a lot of stick on course whilst he was playing and on twitter, the college sacked him.

Wasn't it meant to be just him and Tiger battling it out at one point? :blah:

I'd love to see him win next week at the pairs tournament, can't recall the name.

So what's the target he has to reach by the end of the Summer...?
A win will seal it,top 10's will get him into the following weeks events which will really help,its all about getting enough money to gain his card again which will be difficult with the restricted invites,Poulters starting all over again,
but one good week is all it takes.

Does what he's won so far this year count towards the total or is that wiped form the purposes of the 2017 FedEx..?
I guess thats wiped out because the years medical exemptions finished,he starts from zero.
Going by previous years Poulter will need to earn between $700k-$750k to keep his card at the end of the season,a lot of money but bear in mind a couple of 2nd's will get you that nowdays.
