ON THE
PGA
TOUR
Former Hokies and close
friends Johnson Wagner and
Brendon de Jonge competed on
the PGA Tour once again in 2016.
Wagner, a three-time winner on
Tour, has earned over $11 million
in ten full seasons. His 2016
campaign included three Top 10
finishes, highlighted by a pair of
fifth place finishes in the last two
regular season events. He finished
the year 78th in the FedEx Cup
standings and is fully exempt on
the PGA Tour for the 2017 season.
A member of the International
Team for the 2013 President’s
Cup, de Jonge has now earned
over $12 million during his career.
Unfortunately, in 2016 he finished
outside the Top 150 on Tour for the
first time in 10 years, with an injury
late in the season hindering his run
in the four-tournament
Web.comTour playoffs. De Jonge will rely on
sponsor exemptions to begin his
season on Tour in 2017.
