David Duval Probable to Lose PGA Tour Card

Duval, who was ranked #1 in April of 1999, will most likely lose his Tour Card at the conclusion of this weekends tournament. From ESPN:

Former world No. 1 David Duval is likely to lose his PGA Tour card next year after missing the cut at the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

Duval finished at 5-over par at Disney World on Friday in the final event of the season.

So really, how much does it have to suck to lose your Tour Card at an event sponsored by the Children's Miracle Network, and held at Disney World? Though he came in second at the US Open earlier this year, his lone major win came at the 2001 Open Championship(aka the British Open). He also only has 13 PGA Tour wins, all coming from 1997 to 2001.

And next year: Back to Q School.
