Keep Your Job Week on the PGA Tour

Today may be Halloween -- Boo! -- but this whole week is scary for certain PGA Tour pros. Its Keep Your Job Week on the PGA Tour. Or for the glass-half-empty types, Lose Your Job Week.

The top 125 on the money list after this weeks Childrens Miracle Network Classic in Buena Vista, Florida, will keep their Tour cards. The rest will spend the winter wondering where and when theyll play next year.

At No. 125 on the money list, Ted Purdy is the final weeks Bubble Boy. Purdy has racked up more than three-quarters of a million in earnings this year. A lot, but not quite enough. Teds job is in jeopardy. He blames himself.

Never was I worried about keeping my card until the last couple of weeks. Ive played my way into this situation, Purdy told the scribblers.

Hopefully, Ted can hang on. Of course, if he does it will mean some other Tour pro will not be playing the top circuit next year.
