1987 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates

This is a list of the 1987 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates. 54 players earned their 1988 PGA Tour card through Q-School in 1987. The tournament was played over 108 holes at Pine Lakes Golf Club and Matanzas Golf Club, in Palm Coast, Florida. Those earning cards split the $100,000 purse, with the winner earning $15,000.[1] John Huston was the medallist. Jim Hallet finished in second place. After several attempts in the mid-1980s, Hallet finally made it on to the PGA Tour.[2]

## Tournament summary

[edit]

Several former PGA Tour winners entered the tournament trying to regain full-time status. They included Dave Eichelberger, John Fought, Barry Jaeckel, Bobby Cole, and Leonard Thompson.[3] Eichelberger and Thompson were the only ones that were successful.[4] Fought was disqualified in the first round for signing an incorrect scorecard.[3]
