Good Morning All,

I am helping out this week with Melwood Prince George's County open on the Nationwide Tour. The other day I heard the comentators mention that a couple of the players have exemption on both the Nationwide and PGA Tour. Does that make sense?

Does it make sense? I suppose it depends on your perspective. Look at how many players have exemption on both the Champions Tour and PGA Tour.

This is only speculation, but I'm guessing that Nationwide players who received "battleground promotions" as well as the (what is it, the top fifteen?) players who earned their way on to the PGA Tour last year have playing privileges on both tours.

Top 25 on the Nationwide get promoted to the PGA Tour.

@Ripnrob - That makes more sense to me what you said about it. Seems like the logical explanation of it.
