ANYBODY ESLE WONDER WHATS GOING ON with Ty Tryon? He withdrew from an event a few weeks ago as the end of the season gets closer and closer and he's still short of the money list position he needs to keep his tour card. His official website hasn't been updated since mid July - it doesn't even reflect the money he made in the Buick Open in late July. His 'journal', that was only ever updated one time, has been removed from the site.

Anybody have a theory as to whats going on? Is the 'Team Ty' operation scaling down in anticipation of playing on the Nationwide/Canadian/Hooters tour next year? Or could it be as simply as the PR hound whose job it was to update the website is on medical leave?

I'm in the dark on this one. The past month has been the most quiet time for Tryon related news since he earned his tour card almost two years ago.

i've been wondering as well... hopefully all is well, and he'll be back out there soon.

He had 23 events from the time he got the medical exemption in July 2002 to the end of this season to get in the top 125, and since then he has played 19 PGA Tour tournaments. There are like 5 events left he could get into even though I'm sure q-school must start sometime within the next month or so...does he have to go through all the stages again if he goes back?

What's wrong? Easy. He developed on a fast track with unrealistic expectations from his father. Try going down the proven route...junior golf, college golf, mini-tour. This isn't basketball!

Can we say flash in the pan? The mentality it takes to succeed at this level takes years to develop, yet we're looking for results from someone who's barely old enough to vote. The jump from amateur to pro that Ty has experienced rarely works in any given sport. He's attempting this leap in professional golf, which is proven to be the ultimate test of patience and endurance. Not going to happen; 19 year olds should be playing video games, not appearing in them.
