The Web.com Tour held the first-ever tournament of the Web.com Tour Finals. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman won the inaugural Hotel Fitness Championship in Ft. Wayne, Ind. on Sunday.

PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and his staff developed the FedEx Cup-style, four tournament series to award 25 PGA Tour cards to the top money winners at the end of the Web.com Tour Championship—the last event of the Web.com Tour Finals.

PGA Tour professionals that finished Nos. 126-200 and missed the FedEx Cup playoffs, are invited to join the top 75 Web.com Tour money earners and play in the Web.com Tour Finals. The mixture of seasoned PGA Tour professionals along with young rookie talent creates interesting golf action.

Veterans are attempting to hold onto their lucrative golf careers for one more season, while the youngsters are trying to break through to the bright lights and big purses of the PGA Tour.

Instead of a grueling, stress-filled, gut-wrenching, 90-hole Q-School, tour cards will be awarded after four 72-hole tournaments that each offer a $1 million purse. One bad hole or round will not completely dash a player’s hopes of earning a 2014 PGA Tour card.

Twenty-five professionals already earned their 2014 tour cards by finishing inside the top 25 on the Web.com Tour money list at the end of their regular season. Michael Putnam finished the season as the top money earner with $480,000 and was awarded his 2014 PGA Tour card after the Cox Classic.



Immelman is the exact type of player that the PGA Tour had in mind when they came up with the new concept. Since his win at the Masters, he has struggled with injuries.

2013 marks the end of the five-year exemption to PGA Tour events from the major championship win. He finished the year outside the top 125 on the FedEx Cup standings and was forced to compete in the Web.com Tour Finals to earn a card for next year.
