There'll be lots of incentive for some of the fringe players on the PGA Tour to play well this weekend in Greensboro, N.C. Only four tournaments remain until the season-ending Tour Championship, as players try to get in the top 125 on the money list and keep their PGA Tour cards for 2007.
Chris Riley is just one of the names currently outside the Top 125 on the PGA Tour money list and in risk of losing his full exempt status. He's earned $485,608 this year, good for 141st on the money list. The purse this week totals $5 million, with the winner receiving $900,000. The runner-up will get $540,000, with the third-place finisher pocketing $340,000.
Riley is getting 66/1 odds to win the The Chrysler Classic of Greensboro at Forest Oaks Country Club. Riley won the 2002 Reno-Tahoe Open, and finished T5th in this year's Valero Texas Open.
Here are a few more names of those on the bubble in the PGA.
125 Lee Westwood $630,566
126 Jonathan Kaye $571,634 (100/1)
127 Jeff Overton $569,212
128 Omar Uresti $568,804
129 Rich Beem $558,525
130 Duffy Waldorf $555,571
131 Jerry Smith $544,056
132 Brad Faxon $543,681 (66/1)
133 Robert Garrigus $530,115
134 Bob May $524,932
135 Jose Coceres $522,592
The PGA Tour moves to Las Vegas next week for the Las Vegas Invitational, where Wes Short, Jr. titled in 2005.
