Sam Burns - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,900,000
2017-18 Earnings: $495,916
2017-18 Events: 11

The LSU product was named a first-team All-American and recipient of the Jack Nicklaus Player of the Year award as the NCAA's top golfer during the 2016-17 season. He not only won on the Web.com Tour as a rookie in 2018, but also appeared in 11 PGA Tour events including a top-10 at the Honda Classic. Burns led the Web.com Tour in both birdie average and putting average, so he'll be a candidate to make some noise with a full schedule at the next level.

Dylan Frittelli - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,250,000
2017-18 Earnings: $331,177

Sam Burns - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,900,000
2017-18 Earnings: $495,916
2017-18 Events: 11

He not only won on the Web.com Tour as a rookie in 2018, but also appeared in 11 PGA Tour events including a top-10 at the Honda Classic.

Dylan Frittelli - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,250,000
2017-18 Earnings: $331,177
2017-18 Events: 11

Despite being a PGA Tour non-member throughout the 2017-18 season, Frittelli notched a pair of top-25s in 11 starts en route to six made cuts. The 28-year-old South African resides in the top-70 of the Official World Golf Ranking thanks to two wins on the European Tour in 2017, so he'll be someone to keep an eye on in 2019 if he ramps up his activity level on the PGA Tour. Frittelli earned his card via the Web.com Tour Finals, which included finishes of T9-T17 at the Albertsons Boise Open and Nationwide Children's Hospitals Championship.

Scott Langley - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,200,000
2017-18 Earnings: NA
2017-18 Events: 0

Langley will return to full status on the PGA Tour for the first time since his 2015-16 campaign, when he missed 12 cuts in 22 starts and finished just 167th in the FedExCup standings. The 29-year-old bounced back on the Web.com Tour in 2018 with a win at the Panama Championship to go along with five total top-10s. He made 15 of 21 cuts and ranked top-10 in both GIR and FIR percentage.

Alex Prugh - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,200,000
2017-18 Earnings: NA
2017-18 Events: 0

Prugh averaged nearly 23 starts per season on the PGA Tour in five campaigns ranging from 2010 to 2016, but he posted just one top-three in 113 career events. At the Web.com Tour level in 2018, the 34-year-old rattled off five top-10s and 11 top-25s to finish 18th on the regular season money list. Despite reaching his mid-30s, Prugh averaged nearly 315 yards off the tee and ranked top-10 in both birdie average and GIR percentage.

Robert Streb - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$1,000,000
2017-18 Earnings: $411,606
2017-18 Events: 29

The 31-year-old had made over $1 million in each of the past four seasons, but struggled in posting just one top-10 finish in 2017-18 for a measly $411,606 in earnings. After qualifying for full status again via the Web.com Tour Finals, expect Streb to show more consistency in the 2018-19 season and return to a $1 million dollar man.

Josh Teater - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$950,000
2017-18 Earnings: $40,040
2017-18 Events: 2

Teater is slated to turn the big 4-0 next April, but the aging golfer has earned a full schedule on the PGA Tour for the first time since 2014 when he posted zero top-10s in 28 starts. This past season on the Web.com Tour he finished 15th on the regular season money list with two runner-ups and eight top-25s. Despite ranking fifth in GIR percentage, Teater fell to 70th in birdie average due to struggles with the putter.

Carlos Ortiz - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$925,000
2017-18 Earnings: $20,789
2017-18 Events: 1

Ortiz made 59 starts in two seasons on the PGA Tour before losing his card in 2016, making 30 cuts en route to 10 top-25s. He's spent the past two years on the Web.com Tour, however, making 36 out of 47 cuts in the process. In 2018 he finished second at the Bahamas Great Exuma Classic and would go on to record 11 top-25s. Ortiz also ranked top-25 in both ball striking and birdie average.

Sebastian Munoz - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$850,000
2017-18 Earnings: $17,675
2017-18 Events: 2

Munoz finished just outside of the top-150 in the FedExCup standings during the 2016-17 season, when he posted a T3 at The Greenbrier but also missed nine cuts in 17 starts. He appeared in 22 events on the Web.com Tour in 2018, notching a pair of runner-up finishes and a third-place result to ultimately come in seventh on the regular season money list. The Colombian ranked 33rd in ball striking, 24th in putting average and 14th in birdie average.

Roberto Castro - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$840,000
2017-18 Earnings: $0
2017-18 Events: 1

The 33-year-old played six consecutive seasons on the PGA Tour before losing his card at the end of 2017, having missed the cut in 15 of 25 starts as he fell to 172nd in the FedExCup standings. Castro rebounded with seven top-25s and five top-10s in just 14 starts on the Web.com Tour in 2018, while he ranked fifth in putting average and seventh in GIR percentage.

Lucas Glover - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$700,000
2017-18 Earnings: $789,382
2017-18 Events: 18

Glover played just 18 events and none since the U.S. Open as he has dealt with his wife's domestic violence charge during the Players Championship. As such, Glover notched just one top-10 at the CIMB Classic. He's back to playing and was able to regain his card via the Web.com Tour Finals, but even with a full schedule, don't expect anything outstanding from the three-time PGA Tour winner as his U.S. Open exemption from his 2009 victory ends after 2019.

Ben Silverman - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$600,000
2017-18 Earnings: $793,140
2017-18 Events: 28

Playing in his first full season on the PGA Tour, Silverman earned two top-10s and showcased his driving accuracy and putting prowess, earning positive marks in strokes gained: off-the-tee and strokes gained: Putting. Both top-10s came in the 2017 portion of the season but he did post three other top-15s later in the year in weaker-fielded events. Silverman bloomed later in his career and now sits at 30 years of age with limited PGA Tour experience, so it's best to avoid him in all types of leagues considering his low upside.

Matt Jones - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$600,000
2017-18 Earnings: $538,681
2017-18 Events: 23

Now 38 years of age, Jones appears to be tapering off after his career peaked between 2013-2016. The last three seasons he's failed to notch a single top-10 finish, but has found a way to keep his PGA Tour card. Now on the downhill slope of his career, the Aussie should be avoided in most formats given his limited upside.

Peter Malnati - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$600,000
2017-18 Earnings: $420,001
2017-18 Events: 28

Malnati broke through for his only PGA Tour victory in the fall of 2015, but in the two seasons that followed he has failed to post a top-10 finish. Malnati has proven himself a top-20 putter in each of the last three seasons but struggles mighily with his ballstriking compared to other pros. All said, his upside is capped by his weak tee to green game and he simply hasn't shown improvement in this aspect in the last three seasons, so avoid him in all formats.

Nicholas Lindheim - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$550,000
2017-18 Earnings: $593,842
2017-18 Events: 26

After earning his card via the Web.com Tour Finals, Lindheim earned just a single top-10 while missing the cut in half his 26 starts. His inconsistency, especially in his ballstriking, has proven to be his downfall despite solid putting. As such, he's not worth consideration in any format, despite having full PGA Tour status in the 2018-19 season.

Denny McCarthy - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$550,000
2017-18 Earnings: $498,341
2017-18 Events: 22

McCarthy's rookie season was characterized by a single top-10 and just 13-of-22 made cuts. Denny's driving is PGA Tour average and his putting is great, but his iron game is incredibly underdeveloped. After earning full PGA Tour status by winning the Web.com Tour Championship and overall Web.com Tour Finals, he'll need to maintain his momentum to outpace last year's weak rookie campaign. As a fringe talent, don't expect anything special from McCarthy in the 2018-19 season, but there's a chance he'll ride his current momentum to some solid finishes in the fall season.

Curtis Luck - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$545,000
2017-18 Earnings: $19,491
2017-18 Events: 1

Luck made the cut en route to a T58 finish during his lone start on the PGA Tour this past season at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, one year after making six cuts in 10 appearances while losing rookie status. He'll still be considered a first-time PGA Tour member this season, having earned his card through the Web.com Tour Finals after finishing top-25 at the Web.com Tour Championship, Albertsons Boise Open and Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship.

Julian Etulain - W
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$525,000
2017-18 Earnings: NA
2017-18 Events: 0

Etulain lost his PGA Tour card following the 2016-17 season in which he missed eight cuts in 22 starts while raking in less than $500K in earnings. He actually missed even more cuts on the Web.com Tour in 2018, but added six top-25s and a win at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open. The 30-year-old Argentinian struggled off the tee, but still managed to finish top-50 in birdie average.

Hunter Mahan - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$515,000
2017-18 Earnings: $457,337
2017-18 Events: 21

Mahan was in danger of losing his PGA Tour card for the first time since becoming a rookie in 2004, but the 36-year-old posted finishes of T33-T2-T17 throughout the Web.com Tour Finals to regain status. He posted just one top-10 finish in 21 starts this past season, coming in relatively unimpressive fashion at the Barbasol Championship. Mahan fell to 192nd in SG: Around-the-Green and 145th in SG: Approach, but still managed to rank top-45 on Tour in GIR percentage, driving accuracy and birdie average.

Michael Thompson - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$500,000
2017-18 Earnings: $563,972
2017-18 Events: 19

In the 2016-17 season, Thompson paced the PGA Tour in strokes gained: Putting, and this past season he was 14th. But little else can be said for the journeyman who failed to earn a single top-10 in 2017-18. He's earned between $500,000 and $600,000 each of the past four seasons, so expect more of the same from the Alabama alum.

Shawn Stefani - C
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$500,000
2017-18 Earnings: $523,204
2017-18 Events: 25

Stefani notched his lone top-10 in the second event of the season, but only found pocket stretches of consistency between his 13 missed cuts in 25 events. The journeyman has now grinded his way to status on the PGA Tour in the last seven seasons after successfully making it again through the Web.com Tour Finals. However, with exactly one top-10 the last three seasons, it's hard to forecast anything more than that for the Texas native in the year ahead. He's not rosterable in salary cap leagues or draft leagues.

Adam Schenk - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$500,000
2017-18 Earnings: $474,923
2017-18 Events: 28

Schenk collected just one top-10 in his 2017-18 rookie campaign, and sadly it was in the Zurich 2-man event where he needed the help of teammate Tyler Duncan to pull off the feat. The positive here is that Schenk is a long hitter and was an above average putter on the PGA Tour this season, but don't expect him to make a huge leap this season. Expect around $500,000 in earnings and a return to the Web.com Tour Finals where he'll need to fight for his card yet again.

Wes Roach - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$485,000
2017-18 Earnings: NA
2017-18 Events: 0

Roach spent two full seasons on the PGA Tour in 2014 and 2016, but failed to finish top-150 in the FedExCup standings during both campaigns as he spent the past two years on the Web.com Tour. In 2018 he compiled 10 top-25s and six top-10s in 25 starts en route to earning a PGA Tour card via the Web.com Tour Finals. Roach is barely inside of the top-400 in the Official World Golf Ranking, however, but he did finish the 2018 Web.com Tour season 11th in putting average and 28th in birdie average.

Fabian Gomez - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$450,000
2017-18 Earnings: $437,032
2017-18 Events: 28

Gomez tied his career high with 16 made cuts throughout the 2017-18 PGA Tour season, but descended to 162nd in the FedExCup standings and was forced to regain his card through the Web.com Tour Finals as a result. The 39-year-old finished T17-T9 at the Web.com Tour Championship and Albertsons Boise Open to end the season on a positive note, but he remains outside of the top-500 in the Official World Golf Ranking. This past season Gomez lost strokes in every category except putting, ranking 40th on Tour with the flat stick from inside 10 feet.

Stephan Jaeger - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$415,000
2017-18 Earnings: $422,260
2017-18 Events: 26

Jaeger was successful in finishing top-25 during the Web.com Tour Finals to maintain his status on the PGA Tour after finishing the 2017-18 season 165th in the FedExCup standings. The German added top-8 finishes at the Web.com Tour Championship and DAP Championship, rising to 220th in the Official World Golf Ranking. He finished outside of the top-125 on the PGA Tour in SG: Approach, SG: Putting and driving accuracy, however.

Sangmoon Bae - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$375,000
2017-18 Earnings: $184,057
2017-18 Events: 17

The South Korean completed his mandatory two years of military service in 2017 before returning to action on the PGA Tour, appearing in 17 events throughout the season. Bae earned a spot in the Web.com Tour Finals thanks to an extension stemming from his lengthy absence, and he didn't disappoint with a win at the Albertsons Boise Open to ultimately regain status on the PGA Tour for the 2018-19 season. Expectations should be tempered , however, as the 32-year-old missed 11 cuts and added a withdrawal in 17 starts during his 2017-18 campaign at the PGA Tour level.

Max Homa - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$365,000
2017-18 Earnings: NA
2017-18 Events: 0

Homa missed a whopping 15 cuts in 17 starts during his 2016-17 campaign on the PGA Tour, so he was forced to spend the 2018 season at the Web.com level where he notched nine top-25s in 27 events. With top-10s at the Albertsons Boise Open and DAP Championship, Homa finished top-25 overall during the Web.com Tour Finals. He's missed the cut in well over half of his 53 career starts on the PGA Tour, however.

Roberto Díaz - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$295,000
2017-18 Earnings: $235,635
2017-18 Events: 25

Díaz finished the 2017-18 PGA Tour season at 189th in the FedExCup standings with 11 made cuts in 25 starts, but he went on to post four consecutive top-25s during the Web.com Tour Finals to keep his card. The 31-year-old is hindered by a lack of power off the tee, but he ranked 67th on Tour in SG: Putting this past season.

Cameron Tringale - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$225,000
2017-18 Earnings: $179,459
2017-18 Events: 26

Tringale needed a T3 finish at the Web.com Tour Championship just to keep his PGA Tour card after a brutal 2017-18 campaign in which he missed 19 cuts in 26 events, falling to 195th in the FedExCup standings. The 31-year-old especially struggled off the tee, ranking 161st in driving distance and 191st in FIR percentage. Both his scoring and birdie average were well below average as a result, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the downward trend continue during the 2018-19 season.

Roger Sloan - F
2018-19 Projected Earnings:
$200,000
2017-18 Earnings: $0
2017-18 Events: 1

The Canadian earned his PGA Tour card via the Web.com Tour Finals for just the second time in his career and will play a full schedule for the first time since the 2014-15 season. Back in his last full year he failed to post a top-10, his best finish a T18 at the 2015 John Deere Classic. Though he's posted 3-4 top-10s each of the last three seasons on the Web.com Tour, he should again have a tough time competing on the PGA Tour. It would be a surprise to see a top-10 from the 31-year-old who has yet to accomplish the feat on the PGA Tour.
