I've had a flurry of emails and Tweets asking about the status of Adam Hadwin in regard to next year and what he needs to do to lock up a PGA Tour card. So I went to the PGA Tour and got the official answer. Hadwin has made $432,752. He needs $563,729 to become a Special Temporary Member -- a difference of $130,977.If he becomes a Special Temporary Member and has 2011 money that falls between 126-150, he will be exempt into Finals of the Qualifying Tournament.If he does not become a STM and finishes 126-150 he would be placed in the 151-200 category on the Nationwide Tour -- he would not have status on the PGA TOUR.If he finishes 125 and above he would be exempt on the PGA TOUR for 2012 in the Top 125 Nonmember category.Coincidentally, the $130,977 he needs is almost what he won last week -- $130,312. Of course, knowing Hadwin, his goal this week is not that amount of money, but a first-place cheque. That would take care of everything.
