The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

And so, yeah, it's a little complicated, but that's how I would get in.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Now, if I have bad results between now and then, then, yeah, my season could be not so much cut short, but will be limited.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Well, this year's going to be interesting because they're cutting to 100 on the race to Dubai, but they're including affiliate members, so...

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

You know, Justin Thomas is on the list, for example, now in the top 100 because of his result with the PGA.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

He will be included in the top 100, whereas in the past that would have gone down to 101st.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

in taking into account his inclusion no longer.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

So what you're going to see happen at the end of this year is there will be 100 cards retained, but 20 players within that 100 will play hardly any golf on the DP World Tour next year because they're top 50 players in the world.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

They play four times.

The Chipping Forecast

So what that then means is next year, if you get a Q-School or Challenge Tour card, you will play almost everything.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

They've effectively freed up 30 spots, roughly speaking.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Well, that's what they're anticipating off next year's schedule.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

So by...

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

You want to get in the top 100 this year, absolutely.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

But if you don't, if you get your card via the Challenge Tour or Q-School at the end of this year, you will get a very, very full schedule next year.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

That's the intention.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Yeah, they do, but I almost certainly won't apply for any of them.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Well, you're Irish, remember?

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

Well, I'm Irish.

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

I did apply...

The Chipping Forecast
The Ace of (Broken) Clubs

I did apply to one in 2017.
