The season has already begun, it changed to the late fall tournaments as the start of the season a few years ago. The fortinet was the start of the season.I think the season begins at the Hawaii venues where he will have full access to all regular season tourneys excluding majors and invitationals. I believe Hardy will have his official season started then.
This is true but Nick is full exempt and these tournaments are not limited fields, but this may be having some effect.No idea if there is an injury or something. I do know that just getting your card does not mean you are eligible to play in every event unless you finish first in the Korn Ferry regular season or their Tour finals. There is a priority ranking for entry into tournaments and Nick is pretty far down that list.
In my boredom I looked up the Houston Open field and the priority list for the Korn Ferry qualifiers and no one below Nick Hardy on that list is in the field either so pretty sure the field filled before it got to him. Peter Uihlein did get in but in a sponsors exemption. He is listed in the field for the RSM next week.This is true but Nick is full exempt and these tournaments are not limited fields, but this may be having some effect.
Could be it, Guess I never realized how much the pecking order of the Korn Ferry affects the tourney availability of the players. Got take his chances when he gets them. Can't be missing cuts.In my boredom I looked up the Houston Open field and the priority list for the Korn Ferry qualifiers and no one below Nick Hardy on that list is in the field either so pretty sure the field filled before it got to him.

I bit of a surprise, but he really hasn't had his game for a few years. still only 32.Scott Langley retired today.
He qualified for the Korn Ferry and yes, he struggled in his first outing. But its only one tourney, lets see how he rebounds at the next event.also not sure where Feagles status is, he was in the first Korn Ferry event and struggled pretty hard.
It's a 54 hole cut tournament. Guessing he'll need to get to at least 7 or 8 under to make the cut...unless high winds tomorrow cause higher scores.
Hey...at least he's 12 shots in front of Phil Mickelson!
Good for Thomas! He is a truly nice guy when you meet him in person. Well deserved.
