Former World No.1 lost PGA Card

David Duval, the former world No.1, has likely lost his PGA Tour Card for next year.

 

David Duval walked off the course on Friday, his trademark shades glaring, his smile still resonating after a year that showed much promise only to end in such disappointment.

 

The former world No. 1 has likely lost his PGA Tour card for next year after missing the cut at the Children's Miracle Network Classic, finishing at 5-over par in the final event of the season at Disney World.

"It's not a position you want to be in," Duval said. "It's not fun, but really, I haven't been focusing on it a whole lot."

 

Duval entered the week at No. 125 on the money list, the last spot to earn full status on tour. He is projected to finish at No. 131, giving him conditional status that would allow him to enter about a dozen tournaments for being in the top 150.

 

Duval's name recognition should help him land sponsor exemptions. And his runner-up finish at the U.S. Open and his 2001 British Open championship will get him into the first three majors next year.

 

He said he has already signed up for qualifying school. If he doesn't qualify, he'll be making his schedule on a weekly basis next year.

 

"I've played long enough, I'd like to think the relationships I've built up for 14, 15 years out here, that the events I go to year in and year out would show me a little love if I need it," he said.
It's been a long fall from grace.
