The success of the PGA Tour lies in the compelling stories of the individual quests for achievement--making the tournament cut, winning a tournament, qualifying for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the ultimate challenge of making it onto the Tour, where victory is often determined by a single stroke. Based on interviews with more than twenty professional golfers, this book provides new insight into the PGA Tour system, the events affecting tournament outcomes, and the career-changing opportunities that result.
