Denny McCarthy was the lone rookie to qualify via the Finals; the rest were Money List qualifiers.

Aaron Wise – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $1,100,000
2016-17 Earnings: $209,488
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 6

The former NCAA champion from the University of Oregon has already enjoyed several levels of success as a professional, securing both his first Web.com victory and PGA Tour top-10 during his 2016-2017 campaign. He first gained momentum with a T10 finish at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open back in November, but the highlight of his summer came at the Air Capital Classic in June where he fired back-to-back 62s in his first two rounds and led wire-to-wire. Despite ranking just 72nd in terms of ball striking on the Web.com Tour, Wise could be in line for one of the more successful PGA Tour careers out of this year's class of rookies.

Cameron Tringale – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $1,000,000
2016-17 Earnings: $792,814
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 28

For a guy who has yet to win on the PGA Tour, Tringale has made plenty of money, with five of his last seven seasons eclipsing the $1 million mark. Last season he slipped just a bit and failed to earn a top-3 finish for the first time since 2012, but he did pick up three top-10s. Though he underwhelmed last season, there's plenty reason to belive Tringale bounces back, even though he had to go to the Web.com Finals, where he finished 18th, to retain his card after finishing 133rd on the points list. He's a solid salary cap sleeper option who may not win, but has the game to post up to four top-10s over a season.

Beau Hossler – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $1,000,000
2016-17 Earnings: $77,028
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 8

Many remember Hossler as the 17-year-old sensation who finished T29 at the 2012 U.S. Open and went on to become a standout at the University of Texas. He now has the chance to become a staple on the PGA Tour after securing his card thanks to a top-25 finish on the Web.com's regular season money list in 2017. Hossler also made 4 of 8 cuts at the PGA level during his 2017 campaign, ranging from the Farmers Insurance Open to the Travelers Championship. He missed just 3 of 14 cuts on the Web.com Tour this past season, while also posting two runner-up finishes. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Hossler make some noise as a 22-year-old rookie given his natural talent and experience in the spotlight.

Chesson Hadley – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $975,000
2016-17 Earnings: $82,208
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 8

Hadley, who won the PGA Tour's 2014 Puerto Rico Open, racked up $2.8M in earnings through two seasons before losing his card after a 2015-16 campaign in which he finished 159th in the FedExCup standings. He'll be back to full status during the 2017-18 season, however, as two victories in his last six starts on the Web.com Tour have secured his card once again. Hadley also appeared in eight PGA Tour events throughout the 2016-17 season, notably placing top-30 in back-to-back starts at the John Deere Classic and Barbasol Championship.

Sam Ryder – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $950,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

A dominant, eight-stroke victory at the Web.com's Pinnacle Bank Championship in July combined with four additional top-five finishes vaulted Ryder up to No. 2 on the 2017 money list, thus earning a PGA Tour card for the first time in his career. Through 23 events on the Web.com Tour this past season, Ryder made 16 cuts to go along with 10 top-25s, but missed the cut on his biggest stage at the U.S. Open after earning medalist honors with a 62 at his sectional qualifier. The 27-year-old won't have experience on his side, but harnesses enough game to compete at the next level as a rookie, having ranked first in total driving and third in ball striking on the Web.com Tour.

Alex Cejka – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $900,000
2016-17 Earnings: $618,171
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 28

After nearly a decade of sub-$1 million earnings, Cejka returned to form in his mid-40s to post back-to-back seasons more than $1 million in 2014-15 and 2015-16. Last season, however, saw a sharp decline to just one top 10 -- a tie for ninth at The Greenbrier Classic, resulting in a 149th-place finish on the points list. He retained his card, though, by finishing 16th at the Web.com Finals. As Cejka nears age 50, it's hard to picture another season more than $1 million, but the deadly accurate Czech still makes plenty of cuts and has surprised before.

Troy Merritt – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $900,000
2016-17 Earnings: $569,682
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 28

In the three seasons prior to this year, Merritt had posted a top-3 finish, but this season ended with zero top-3s and just one top-10. As a result, Merritt had to earn his way through the Web.com Tour Finals to retain his card for a fifth straight year. Going forward it's hard to see Merritt breaking $1 million in earnings in 2017-18, but he'll likely top last year's measley total, which was his worst total since the 2011 season. He's not draftable in salary cap leagues and should go beyond the 10th round in drafts.

Brice Garnett – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $850,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 2

Garnett, who finished first on the Web.com's regular season money list during his bounceback 2017 campaign, once again earns a PGA Tour card after appearing in 72 events from 2014-2016. His most recent season was highlighted by a pair of wins at the Web.com's Utah Championship in July and WinCo Foods Portland Open just over a month later. He also posted eight additional top-25s, but occasionnaly struggled with consistency as he missed 10 cuts in 23 events. Garnett has a chance to surpass his career-best finish of 117th in the FedExCup standings throughout the upcoming season, but he'll need to make short-game improvements after ranking 110th in scrambling on the Web.com Tour.

Andrew Landry – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $850,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Landry finished fourth on the Web.com's 2017 regular season money list to earn his PGA Tour card for the second time in his career, having orignally lost it after missing 9 of 18 cuts during his 2015-16 campaign. This past season at the Web.com level, Landry claimed his second career victory at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic in January before adding six more top-five finishes. Additional highlights for Landry include ranking second in putting average and third in birdie average on the Web.com Tour.

Austin Cook – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $825,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Cook originally busted onto the professional golf scene in 2015 when he made 6 of 7 cuts on the PGA Tour while notching a pair of top-10s in the process, but was unable to earn full status until finishing 15th in the Web.com's 2017 regular season money list. His most recent campaign was highlighted by a stretch that included results of T7-T2-T7 from the LECOM Health Challenge through the Pinnacle Bank Championship in July. Cook also ranked an impressive eighth in ball striking and 14th in total driving on the Web.com Tour.

Seamus Power – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $800,000
2016-17 Earnings: $646,180
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 25

Power's rookie season on the PGA Tour started slowly but ended with promise as he notched three of his four top-25s in his final five events. If Power can muster enough starts to build momentum early in the wraparound season, look for him to flirt with $1 million or more in earnings. Of course there's downside for a sophomore slump that tosses him between the PGA and Web.com tours, but you could do much worse than the 30-year-old Irishman.

Peter Uihlein – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $800,000
2016-17 Earnings: $272,529
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 7

A solid player on the European Tour since 2013, Uihlein made the most of his opportunity to play in the Web.com Tour Finals by winning the first leg, the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship. His $180,000 in earnings from the victory sealed his full-time spot on the PGA Tour, where he notched three top-25s in just seven events last season. The promising talent has plenty of length off the tee and a good putter, so there's potential to shine given a full schedule. Uihlein is worth a pick in the 11th or 12th round of draft leagues and perhaps a higher-risk option worth taking in salary cap leagues.

Matt Jones – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $750,000
2016-17 Earnings: $510,622
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 20

Jones missed just 8 of 20 cuts on the PGA Tour throughout the 2016-17 season, but failed to record a single top-10 and ultimately needed to finish top-25 at the Web.com Tour finals in order to retain his card. Jones' short game has been top-notch, ranking second in SG: Around-the-Green and 25th in sand-save percentage, but he finished the season at just 159th in GIR percentage. Jones experienced his worst campaign since 2012, having earned just $510,622 in 20 starts.

Ryan Armour – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $750,000
2016-17 Earnings: $443,006
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 20

For a second straight year Armour earned his way to the PGA Tour, but this time around it was his strong work early in the Web.com Tour Finals that netted him full exemption. Armour last season used a second-round 61 at the Wyndham Championship to post his lone top-10, but if can somehow find a way to improve his short game he's got potential to improve on last seasons earnings.

Jonathan Byrd – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $750,000
2016-17 Earnings: $328,337
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 9

A dominant showing at the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship resulted in a four-stroke victory for Byrd, thus earning the 39-year-old full-time status on the PGA Tour for the first time since the 2014-15 season. In 18 events at the Web.com level throughout 2017, Byrd made 12 of 18 cuts while notching six top-25s and three top-10s. He also appeared in nine events on the PGA Tour, most notably finishing top-five at the John Deere Classic in mid-July. The five-time winner and 2002 Rookie of the Year could be in line for a bounceback campaign after ending the Web.com season with plenty of momentum.

Brandon Harkins – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $725,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

The long-hitting 31-year-old proved to also be proficient with the flat stick, ranking 11th in driving distance, 12th in putting average and eighth in birdie average on the Web.com Tour this past season. He made 15 of 24 cuts while posting a pair of top-threes and six top-25, ultimately finishing at 21st on the regular season money list. Harkins had never earned a PGA Tour card until this point, though he did place T59 at the 2016 U.S. Open.

Sam Saunders – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $700,000
2016-17 Earnings: $678,117
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 24

The well-documented grandson of the legendary Arnold Palmer, Saunders earned PGA Tour status the last three seasons, gradually improving his earnings efficiency during that time. With another year on Tour locked up, thanks to a sixth-place finish at the Web.com Finals, he will have the opportunity to take another step forward, but don't expect anything drastic. Saunders is a solid driver of the ball but lacks in his iron game, where he's lost strokes to the field each of the last three seasons. He will need to see that aspect improve if he's going to expect more top-10 finishes.

Adam Schenk – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $700,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Through two generally successful seasons on the Web.com Tour, Schenk racked up just over $400K in 48 total events, but ultimately earned his PGA Tour card for the first time thanks to his win at the Lincoln Land Charity Championship in late June. That victory came during one of the best stretches so far throughout his professional career, finishing top-five in four straight events. Schenk's long game appears to be of PGA Tour caliber after ranking top-20 in both total driving and ball striking on the Web.com, while he also finished top-40 in terms of scrambling.

Xinjun Zhang – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $675,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Despite missing 10 of 23 cuts and withdrawing during another start, Zhang's pair of runner-up finishes were enough of a boost to place him inside the top-25 of the Web.com's regular season money list. Zhang ranked 33rd in GIR percentage and 51st in birdie average, though he didn't excel in one specific category throughout the season. He also posted an impressive T21 at the WGC-HSBC Champions event in late October, despite carding a final-round 76.

Talor Gooch – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $625,000
2016-17 Earnings: $23,213
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Gooch appeared to simply be going through the motions throughout a majority of the Web.com season as he placed top-five just once in his first 16 starts, but a runner-up finish at the Price Cutter Charity Championship in August preceded his first career victory at the News Sentinel Open. He earned over $170K during these two weeks alone, boosting him into position to become a rookie on the PGA Tour as he finished sixth on the Web.com's regular season money list. Gooch also made the cut at the 2017 U.S. Open, but a final-round 80 resulted in a second-to-last place finish among those who made the weekend.

Conrad Shindler – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $625,000
2016-17 Earnings: $13,797
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Shindler won the Rex Hospital in June of his maiden campaign on the Web.com Tour, which ultimately led him to finish inside the top-25 of the regular season money list as he posted three additional top-10 results as well. The 29-year-old's last start on the PGA Tour came in 2016 at the AT&T Byron Nelson where he made the cut, but ultimately fell into a tie for 75th. He ranked 10th in putting average, 40th in scrambling and 65th in GIR percentage this past season on the Web.com Tour, while he remains unlikely to carry much fantasy relevance throughout his upcoming rookie campaign.

Chad Collins – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $600,000
2016-17 Earnings: $693,743
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 26

Collins notched a runner-up at the Barbasol Championship and a top-5 at the Honda Classic but was a complete disaster the rest of the season, missing 20 of 26 cuts to finish 143rd in the FedEx Cup Point standings. He retained his card, though, with a 22nd-place finish at the Web.com Finals. Collins has never gone north of $1 million in eight seasons on the PGA Tour, so to expect that would be pie in the sky. His limited upside and lack of consistency make him undraftable in most fantasy formats.

Shawn Stefani – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $600,000
2016-17 Earnings: $404,377
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 26

Stefani found himself outside of the top-150 in the FedExCup standings after missing 15 of 26 cuts throughout the 2016-17 season, but a runner-up finish at the Web.com Tour Championship allowed for him to retain his PGA Tour card. Despite ranking 35th in GIR percentage this past season, Stefani fell to 152nd in birdie average and 158th in average proximity to the hole on approach shots from 50-125 yards out. Stefani has also gone without a top-three finish since the 2014-15 season, so his fantasy value projects to remain limited.

Tom Hoge – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $600,000
2016-17 Earnings: $373,092
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 17

Hoge has now failed to finish top-125 in the FedExCup standings for three consecutive years, but earned his PGA Tour card back for the upcoming 2017-18 season thanks to a top-25 performance in the Web.com Tour Finals. This past season he struggled mightily off the tee, ranking outside of the top-150 in both driving distance and driving accuracy. He'll look to improve upon his 10 made cuts throughout his 2017-18 campaign.

Stephan Jaeger – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $600,000
2016-17 Earnings: $24,301
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 2

After missing four cuts in his first six starts to begin the 2017 Web.com season, Jaeger won two of his next three events before making the cut at the U.S. Open in June. The German would eventually come back to earth, however, finishing top-15 just once throughout his last 11 events while missing four cuts during that span as well. Jaeger's mid-season surge was still impressive enough to land him at fifth on the regular season money list, earning a PGA tour card for the first time in his career.

Zecheng Dou – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $600,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

At just 20 years old, Dou becomes the first Chinese player ever to earn a PGA Tour card after finishing 16th on the Web.com's regular season money list. A win at the Digital Ally Open made this all possible, given the fact he missed 10 of 24 cuts and only notched five top-25s throughout his 2017 campaign. It's difficult to predict much success as a rookie for the 20-year-old, although he did rank eighth in birdie average and 23rd in putting average at the Web.com level. Dou also finished T40 at the 2017 WGC-HSBC Champions event.

Andrew Yun – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $575,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Yun finished third-or-better in just one of his first 48 career Web.com events, but did so on four separate occassions throughout his 2017 campaign. Racking up $222,856 in earnings was enough to qualify for a PGA Tour card as he positioned himself in 13th on the regular season money list. Yun, a 26-year-old out of Stanford University, has never appeared in a PGA Tour event so expectations should be somewhat limited right away, especially given the fact he ranked 102nd in terms of GIR percentage this past season.

Steve Wheatcroft – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $550,000
2016-17 Earnings: $309,518
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 17

Wheatcroft averaged just $18,207 in earnings per entry throughout his 2016-17 campaign, finishing at 179th in the FedExCup standings. He'll retain his PGA Tour card, however, having placed inside of the top-25 in the Web.com Tour finals. Despite ranking 15th on Tour in driving accuracy, Wheatcroft was just 188th in GIR percentage as his iron play remained well below average.

Ted Potter Jr. – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $550,000
2016-17 Earnings: $31,284
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 2

The 33-year-old veteran was unable to establish himself during his first three years on the PGA Tour from 2012-2014, missing 38 of 71 cuts during that span. He missed just 6 of 21 cuts on the Web.com Tour in 2017, however, while 12 top-25s and a pair of runner-ups vaulted him to 14th on the regular season money list. Potter also finished T37 at the Greenbrier Classic in July, but shouldn't pose much season-long fantasy relevance at this stage of his career.

Matt Atkins – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $550,000
2016-17 Earnings: $8,190
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Following a stretch of five missed cuts throughout his first six starts during the 2017 Web.com season, Atkins came out of nowhere to win the El Bosque Mexico Championship and ultimately finish top-25 on the regular season money list at No. 19. That marked his only top-five finish in 24 events, though he was able to add two other top-10s. Atkins ranked just 98th in ball striking and 62nd in birdie average, so his expectations as a rookie should be tempered. He was able to make the cut during his lone start on the PGA Tour, finishing T72 at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Ben Silverman – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $550,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Silverman missed 11 of 16 cuts during a disappointing 2016 Web.com campaign, but finally broke through with a win at the 2017 Price Cutter Charity Championship to earn his PGA Tour card after finishing 10th in the Web.com's regular season money list. He ranked top-25 on the Web.com Tour in birdie average and GIR percentage, despite placing outside of the top-60 in terms of total driving. There could be a learning curve for Silverman out of the gate as a rookie, having appeared in just one PGA Tour event during his career when he missed the cut at the RBC Canadian Open in 2014.

Lanto Griffin – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $550,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Griffin's 2017 campaign got off to an extremely sluggish start with seven missed cuts in his first 11 events, but he bounced back tremendously with a win at the Nashville Golf Open in early July to salvage his season and earn a PGA Tour card for the first time in his career. Accuracy woes off the tee marked Griffin's Achilles' heal throughout the year, though he was still able to rank 14th in birdie average thanks to a hot putter. Griffin has appeared in just two PGA events during his career, missing the cut during both starts back in 2011.

Denny McCarthy - R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $525,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Earning a PGA Tour card via the Web.com Tour Finals, McCarthy is set to become a rookie at the next level after making 18 of 23 cuts on the Web.com during 2017. He failed to record any top-three finishes through two seasons on the Web.com Tour, however, so McCarthy's upside may remain limited. McCarthy ranked second in putting average and 21st in birdie average this past season, but was just 128th in terms of GIR percentage.

Jonathan Randolph – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $500,000
2016-17 Earnings: $511,032
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 22

Randolph managed to earn his PGA Tour card for a second straight year, this time via the Web.com Tour Finals. In 2016-17, Randolph played in 22 events and made 13 cuts, including a lone top-10 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship. Not much is forecasted for Randolph again this year, as there appears to be nothing separating his game from most of those on the Web.com Tour.

Rob Oppenheim – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $500,000
2016-17 Earnings: $224,190
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 4

Oppenheim has bounced between the PGA and Web.com Tours each of the past three seasons, but 2017-18 will see him with another fully exempt shot with the big boys after a strong showing in the Web.com Tour Finals. In just four PGA Tour events last season, he earned $224,190 almost exclusively from a top-10 at Pebble Beach. During his last fully exempt PGA Tour season in 2015-16, Oppenheim made a very pedestrian $462,427 which included just one top-10 so don't get too excited about his prospects this season. He's better left undrafted.

Martin Piller – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $500,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Piller must feel like a ping pong ball bouncing back and forth from Web.com Tour to PGA Tour on five occassions in his career, successfully earning his PGA Tour card this year through the Web.com Tour Finals. Last year Piller's full-time gig on the Web.com Tour netted him $144,667, so he'll be delighted to have the chance to multiply that on the big boy Tour this season. Piller's salient attribute is definitely his putting, as he was 10th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting back in his last fully exempt year of 2015-16. Piller's prospects for this season are probably similar to 2015-16 with limited upside given he's 31 and has proven very little. He's undraftable in salary cap leagues and should probably be ignored in draft leagues as well.

Nate Lashley – R
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $500,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Lashley first appeared on the Web.com Tour way back when in 2006, but at the age of 34 years old, he's finally earned a coveted PGA Tour card after finishing 11th on the Web.com's 2017 regular season money list. This was essentially made possibly by a win at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship in May, while he also posted top-25s in just over half of his starts throughout the season. He ranked a dismal 107th in total driving and 83rd in ball striking, but made up for it with an impressive short game as he was third in scrambling.

Joel Dahmen – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $475,000
2016-17 Earnings: $344,824
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 16

In his first full season on the PGA Tour, Dahmen earned just $344,824 in 16 events, making seven cuts and posting two top-25s in the process. He'll retain his card thanks to a top-25 result in the Web.com Tour Finals, but figures to remain quiet in terms of relevance in season-long fantasy formats.

Abraham Ancer – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $475,000
2016-17 Earnings: $15,820
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 1

Ancer's rookie campaign on the PGA Tour during the 2015-16 season didn't go as planned, missing 13 of 19 cuts to ultimately finish 190th in the FedExCup standings and lose his card as a result. A solid bounceback effort on the Web.com Tour this past season included 18 of 23 made cuts and seven top-10s, placing third on the regular season money list and re-earning his PGA Tour card for 2017-18. Another bright spot for Ancer included a made cut during his lone start at the PGA Tour level, posting a T55 at the OHL Classic in November of 2016.

Andrew Putnam – W
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $475,000
2016-17 Earnings: $0

Putnam earns back his PGA Tour card after originally losing it due to a poor 2015 campaign in which he missed 13 of 23 cuts, falling to 182nd in the FedExCup standings. The 28-year-old's 2017 Web.com campaign included a win at the Panama Claro Championship in February, and he finished the season having missed just three cuts in 20 events. Putnam statistically doesn't stand out among his peers, but was able to finish eighth on the regular season money list thanks to his ranking of 11th in terms of scoring average.

At just 5-foot-6, Diaz's lack of power could turn into a problem at the PGA Tour level against much better competition at more difficult venues, so he'll look to finish near the top-35 in terms of both putting average and scrambling as he did on the Web.com Tour in order to have much of a chance at elevating his potential fantasy value. Diaz posted two top-three finishes during his 2017 campaign on the Web.com, finishing in 25th on the regular season money list and earning his PGA Tour card for the first time. The 30-year-old Mexican also finished T67 at the WGC-Mexico Championship, but missed the cut at both the OHL Classic and U.S. Open.

One of the more decorated veterans on the Web.com Tour, the 38-year-old owns five career victories to go along with 11 runner-ups.Throughout two full seasons at the PGA Tour level Thompson hasn't experienced the same success, however, most recently missing 18 of 22 cuts during his 2012 campaign. He won the Web.com's season-opening Bahamas Great Exuma Classic, but ended up missing 9 of 21 cuts including three of his last four. He'll likely head into the upcoming season without much momentum after playing poorly thoughout September.

Brett Stegmaier – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $400,000
2016-17 Earnings: $271,031
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 27

Stegmaier fell apart in his second full season on the PGA Tour, his best finish a mediocre 21st at the RSM Classic 11 months ago. Now with his third straight season of securing his PGA Tour card, Stegmaier will look to prove his 2015-16 season of over $1 million in earnings wasn't a fluke after his dismal $271,031 last season. He's undraftable in salary cap leagues, his stock in draft leagues falls past the 10th round.

2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 0

Duncan's last three years on the Web.com Tour have finally grew into a PGA Tour card as he posted a strong T5 finish at the Albertson's Boise Open to secure his rookie season on the PGA Tour. The Purdue graduate has recorded two runner-ups and a handful of top-10 in the last three years on the Web.com Tour, but how that translates to the PGA Tour will be a story we'll soon find out. The fact that Duncan has yet to win on any major tour is a bit of a concern, so avoid his capped upside in salary cap leagues and avoid him until after the 12th round in draft leagues.

After missing out on the top-25 on the Web.com Tour and automatic PGA Tour exemption by just one slot, Mitchell forged through the Web.com Tour Finals with a strong showing to earn his PGA Tour card for the first time. On the Web.com last year Mitchell posted six top-10s including his best finish, a third at the News Sentinel Open. Mitchell's clear strength is his immense length off the tee that affords him plenty of birdies or better on par-5s, but the rest of his game has room for improvement. Mitchell could surprise at some weaker-fielded events where length is advantageous, but otherwise shouldn't be on your radar this season.

Lovelady made a splash late in the season on the Web.com Tour and relayed that into a top-3 at the first leg of the Web.com Tour Finals to secure his rookie season on the PGA Tour. The talented youngster is long and paced the Web.com Tour in birdie average so there's potential to also make a splash on the PGA Tour this season, though consistency will likely be an issue. He should probably be left alone until we see more from the 24 year old.

Burgoon's strong finishes at the last two events of the Web.com Tour Finals clinched him his PGA Tour card for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Burgoon's second full season on the PGA Tour this year will hopefully bring him his first top-10, but beyond that his expectations are likely quite low, and so are ours despite his solid driving and iron play. Avoid Burgoon in salary cap leagues and in draft leagues hold off until after the 10th round.

Ethan Tracy – R

Despite missing an unimpressive 15 of 24 cuts during the 2017 Web.com season, Tracy was still able to earn his first PGA Tour card thanks to a win at the Club Colombia Championship in February. That marked his only top-10 of the season and he added just two other top-25s. He's made just one cut since the beginning of July, so don't expect Tracy to find much success at the next level as he figures to remain silent in terms of fantasy relevance.

Nicholas Lindheim – F
2017-18 Projected Earnings: $350,000
2016-17 Earnings: $175,107
2016-17 PGA Tour Events: 21

Outside of a single tournament in 2014, Lindheim got his first taste of the PGA Tour last season, and boy was it rough. Just one top-25 in 21 starts as he missed nine cuts along the way. Lindheim's return to the big boy tour this season via the Web.com Tour Finals will hopefully be more fruitful, but don't expect any sort of large leap for the California native.

Corey Conners – F

Conners dragged his feet to barely come away with his PGA Tour card in the Web.com Tour Finals, but nonetheless will enjoy a full schedule this season. Conners has played in just 10 PGA Tour events in his life and made just one cut, so don't expect much from the 25 year old.
