Overton toughed it out playing 10 days after his appendectomy.

This was just plain stupid on so many levels. I realize what was on the line here Kev with the season ending and his card for next year but if he ruins the operative sight by swinging viciously at a drive, and bleeds to death the surgeon will be blamed when it is the patient deciding what activity he can participate in.

If the surgeon okay'd this he will be contacted by his local medical board to inform him to come explain as his license is being reviewed. Sometimes heroic is another way of saying stupid.

"I guess it supposedly takes four to six weeks to fully heal from it, but the doctor told me about 10 to 14 days after, I should be able to start swinging a driver normally," Overton said.

Put a value on it Kev. The dollar value next year. The difference between top 125(keeping your card,) and coming in #130 on the money list(going into next year. ) Say he comes in #100 on the money list next year(which is realistic since he kept his card.) I understand what Doc is saying, but put a dollar value up. If he came #130, and missed at tour school in December.

NOT counting potential prize money earned....I would say conservatively in the 170-200K range. That is just taking into effect endorsement dollars, Pro-Am money, outings, etc...

#100 this year on the PGA Tour made just over $1,040,000 in official prize money. Your #1 money leader on the Nationwide tour this year made LESS than $450,000 in official prize money.

So...there is a difference of almost $600k ALONE in prize money. Again...that doesn't include endoresments and all the other freebies and perks from playing on the PGA Tour. I would say in all reality...it is close to $1,000,000 total

He wouldn't make 450k on the Nationwide huh? Maybe 200K.

Not sure if the prize $$ is going up in 2009 on the Nationwide Tour, but that is was the leading money winner made this year

You see Branshaw choke a card away yesterday? Like watching some pathetic wounded dog. What a mental mess.
