He did better on tour in 1993, making 11 of 24 cuts and recording a top-10 finish, but did not do well enough to retain his tour card. He also played a few tournaments on the Nationwide Tour in 1993 and picked up his first professional victory at the Nike Panama City Beach Classic. He played on the Nationwide Tour full-time in 1994 and picked up his second professional victory at the Nike Tour Championship. In 1995 he also played full-time on the Nationwide Tour and picked up his third victory at the Nike Ozarks Open. Schuchart continued to play on the Nationwide Tour until 1997, taking a hiatus in 1998 and 1999 before returning in 2000. His final year on the Nationwide Tour was 2001.
