2017 Web.com Tour Finals graduates
This is a list of golfers who graduated from the Web.com Tour and Web.com Tour Finals in 2017.[1] The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour's regular season money list in 2017 earned PGA Tour cards for 2018.[2] The Finals determined the other 25 players to earn their PGA Tour cards and the priority order of all 50.
As in previous seasons, the Finals featured the top 75 players on the Web.com Tour regular season money list, players ranked 126–200 on the PGA Tour's regular-season FedEx Cup points list (except players exempt through other means), non-members of the PGA Tour with enough regular-season FedExCup points to place 126–200, and special medical exemptions.
To determine the initial 2018 PGA Tour priority rank, the top 25 Web.com Tour regular season players were alternated with the top 25 Web.com Tour Finals players. This priority order will then be reshuffled several times during the 2018 season.
Chesson Hadley was fully exempt for the 2017–18 PGA Tour season after leading both the full-season money list and the Finals money list.[1]
