The
Web.com Tour is the developmental
tour for the U.S.-based
PGA Tour, and features
professional golfers who have either failed to score well enough at that level's
Qualifying School (the main tour's qualifying tournament, popularly referred to as "Q-School") to earn their PGA Tour card, or who have done so but then failed to win enough money to stay at that level. Those who are on the top 25 of the money list at year's end are given PGA Tour memberships for the next season. Beginning with the 2013 season, the Web.com Tour will play a greater role in professional golf by becoming the dominant pathway for non-members to earn their PGA Tour card, and Q-School will be for entry onto the Web.com tour, not the PGA Tour.
