I guess I am asking what's the point of taking spots from tour players that could possibly compete for the win.

We pay are own way to qualify. It cost me $285 to play in my section CPC in a couple weeks. If by some chance I play well enough to qualify for the National CPC in New Mexico next year, you can better believe I will have to fork over a few hundred dollars more for that entry fee, on top of paying for my own flight there, hotel room and other expenses. If I finish top 20 there and qualify for the PGA at Hazeltine next year, every dime of expenses will come out of one pocket and one pocket only...MINE. So yeah, I think any Club Pro that qualifies has earned his right to try and make some $$ and compete against the big boys for 1 week.

Oh, by the way....the entry fee for every PGA Tour Pro to play this week...$100.
