Jimmy Walker isn’t too completely satisfied.

The 44-year-old veteran, who enters Sunday’s last spherical of the Fortinet Championship at T-18 on the leaderboard, shared his frustrations with Golfweek’s Adam Schupak in an article published on Saturday evening, calling the PGA Tour’s latest modifications “really bass-ackwards.”

At No. 124 in FedExCup factors following the common season, Walker didn’t qualify for the playoffs this yr. In earlier seasons, Walker would’ve nonetheless stored his full card for the following season, which for over a decade now had begun with the fall-opening occasion in Napa, California, however beginning this season, the Tour selected to transition again right into a calendar-year schedule, which means this yr’s fall portion could be an extension of the 2022-23 season. Future falls will function an analogous battle to retain standing amongst Nos. 71 and past.

That implies that Walker continues to be enjoying for his job.

“They changed the rules. It’s been 125 forever. Then it’s like, no, it’s 50 – or is it 70? It’s definitely not 125. It’s total bulls—, that’s what I think of it,” Walker advised Golfweek. “I’ve been working for 11 months to finish 124 and it’s like, Nope, keep playing. So, I’m going to give it all I’ve got. That’s all I can do.”

Walker added that he believes the Tour has “done such a bad job communicating what is happening, partly because I don’t think they knew what was happening, honestly.” He additionally was miffed that he wouldn’t be capable of play Pebble Beach, an occasion he’s received previously, subsequent yr as a result of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has been transformed right into a signature occasion with a restricted area. (Tournament administrators of signature occasions nonetheless have 4 sponsor invitations at their disposal for Tour members not already exempt.)

“It’s been one way forever,” Walker continued. “LIV and the Saudis happen and a lot of things change and everybody freaks out and we sign an agreement that stops litigation. I don’t know what’s going on. They’re talking about a big payout for the players that have stayed. All of it is blowing my mind. The Tour is doing everything they can to take care of themselves and not for the players. I’m just out here grinding, giving it all I’ve got. I’ve given them 20-some-odd years out here, you know.”

The Tour introduced the modifications to the FedExCup and fall season in June 2022.

Walker is enjoying this season on a top-50 profession cash exemption, which was afforded to him solely after a number of LIV Golf gamers had been faraway from the Tour’s profession cash checklist.

He’s presently projected to climb to No. 118 in factors.
