Brett Drewitt lies 39th in the standings with the season beginning to wind down, players needing to be top 25 to earn promotions to the PGA TOUR, top 75 to play the four event Finals Series and top 100 to guarantee playing rights on the secondary Tour in 2017.

As things stand, Steve Allan is the only player aside from Drewitt to feature in the top 100 with Bryden Macpherson, Mathew Goggin, Oliver Goss and Scott Gardiner all in desperate need of some good performances and quickly.

All are in the field this week, as is Peter Lonard whose main purpose this year is to prepare for the 2017 Champions Tour.

This week’s Lincoln Land Charity Championship is a new event on the schedule with all those in the field facing the Panther Creek Country Club course for the first time.

Brett Drewitt, who could earn himself a place on the PGA TOUR in 2017 with a strong finish to the season, has missed his last two cuts but will be motivated to get back on track this week.

With just over $75,000 in earnings to date the New South Welshman likely needs to add a minimum of $50,000 to the coffers to have a chance of being in the top 25.

Matters are more pressing for the rest of the Australians, Steve Allan looking to climb from 89th into the top 75 and at least qualify for the Finals series while the rest would be facing a trip back to Q-School if the schedule finished this week.
