Waiting For the Season

It is four weeks into the 2011 PGA Tour season, and sadly Omar and Jeff are nowhere to be seen on the pro golf circuit. Q-School was not kind to the duo; Omar never threatened at final stage, and Jeff couldn't even make it through second stage. The pair is relegated to the Nationwide circuit this year, nothing new to Jeff of course. Omar had a nice run going on the PGA Tour, but after a nice first week he did absolutely nothing on Tour last year.

The duo will be looking to finish inside the top 25 on the Nationwide money list this season, as a top-25 finish guarantees a spot on the PGA Tour in 2012. The pair's experience and wisdom looks to be offset by the trend toward longer courses with shorter rough, as neither Omar or Jeff is a bomber by any stretch of the imagination, so a top-25 result is no easy task. They clearly have the talent, however, so it should be interesting down the stretch. And of course, winning three Nationwide events in one season sends you straight to the big leagues.

The Nationwide season starts on February 24 in Panama.
