The players who earn entry into the professional tournament in this manner are also called Monday qualifiers.
In the 1960s, players vying to become Monday qualifiers for a tour event were informally referred to as "rabbits", a term they found disparaging.
[2] The PGA Tour awards four spots via Monday qualifying for most of its events, excluding those classified as invitationals.
The feat is more common on the Korn Ferry Tour, having happened three times since 2011: Ted Potter Jr. at the 2011 South Georgia Classic, Sebastian Cappelen at the 2014 Air Capital Classic, and Rick Lamb at the 2016 LECOM Health Challenge.
Monday qualifiers have won 14 times on PGA Tour Champions – Dicky Pride the most recent, at the 2021 Mitsubishi Electric Classic.
