Almost certainly not, KFT still has priority rankings. Wes would still be way far down as he’ll be behind any full KFT member, any major medical status, cut exemptions, career money. Etc.
Ehh… Wes has better status than guys who have made a decent # of KFT starts this year, but when you’re on the 126-150 list, you can still generally get about 10-15 PGA Tour starts on the year. When that happens, it’s hard to want to grind out starts on the KFT when you make almost no money, especially for someone like Wes who gets YouTube $.
I am pretty sure Wes could have made a start in every KFT event so far this year when he wasn’t already in the PGA Tour field that week considering Tyson Alexander (151-200 list) has made all 7 KFT starts.

Shocking

Possibly, it looks like they’re essentially in the same category to start the season, but Tyson had a t6 that would auto qualify him into the next event and now he’s 36th in points so I’m not sure where that puts him in the reshuffle.
So yes, if Wesley had started the year on KFT and played well, he may have been able to get into every event, but it’s certainly not as simple as “well he can just go play KFT”

I know you just got into golf a couple of years ago and just learned what OWGR is. Priority rankings are very confusing

No it hasn’t. He’s in a terrible category to be able to get into events on KFT too. As in, he likely wouldn’t get in them

No it is actually easy. Dont participate or support any LIV venture. Easy solution.

Dawg just broke it down. He would have gotten into all 7 this year

I don’t look at them as the “good guys”. There just isn’t a single LIV event I would prefer to watch over any PGA event on the calendar.

Tyson Alexander got into the Colombia event from his priority ranking, Wes could have gotten in off that one for sure too. He finished t6 which moves him into a much higher category and gets him automatically to the next event. He’s continued to make cuts and is 36th in points which got him into a higher ranking in the reshuffle, ahead of Wes.
So no, Dawg did break it down. Had Wes played well in the events he got in, and yes, he would have gotten in SOME of them, then he could have moved up the priority rankings in the reshuffle. If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. You can’t just say he would have gotten in every event, that’s not true based solely on his preseason priority rankings.
I know you learned about priority rankings an hour ago, and they’re really confusing so no sweat that you don’t get it
Posted on 4/17/25 at 11:52 am to Mingo Was His NameO
He’s in the 16th group, but when you break it down there are basically eight categories with no one in them, two which are a bunch of olds that have no interest in playing KFT, and one with everyone basically having full PGA status so it puts him moreso in the 5th group of players.
I’m not trying to get in the middle of you and Pride, and again, I totally get him not wanting to play KFT, but “the woe is me, I have nowhere to play” isn’t really true. He could play on the KFT if he really wanted. He doesn’t and that’s ok. Personally, I would have handled this differently than Monahan, but I don’t think the #FreeWesley thing makes sense as if he’s some wrongly jailed inmate. He broke the rules and got suspended for it.

This is very very true
I’ve spent way too much time looking at them trying to understand why some random arse player got in the PR Open.

I don’t know if you listen to Shotgun Start, if you don’t, you should at least listen to today’s episode. In/Out/Alternate of opposite field events is maybe my favorite segment in all of media.
Duffy Waldorf is in the field at PR!

That’s 100% why I check those priority rankings
Didn’t know PJ was running this one, but it’s so so good.
I do agree that 126-200 is such a weird place to be status wise. It’s crazy how important it is to start out well the following season. Some guys are never heard from again, and some guys basically never lose status.

Ask Eldrick and Jack. They did business and appearances there. Jay allowed other players to play over the years in the Middle East. And Jay showed he wasn't above personally lining his pockets with that "blood money". Spare me your hypocritical morality when it comes to golf in the Middle East.
