2015 Web.com Tour Finals graduates

This is a list of golf players who graduated from the Web.com Tour Finals in 2015.^[1] The top 25 players on the Web.com Tour's regular season money list in 2015 earned their PGA Tour card for 2016. The Finals determined the other 25 players to earn their PGA Tour cards and their priority order.

As in previous seasons, the Finals featured the top-75 players on the Web.com Tour's regular season money list, players ranked 126–200 on the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup regular season points list (except players exempt through other means), non-members of the PGA Tour with enough FedEx Cup regular season points to place 126–200, and special medical exemptions.

To determine the initial 2016 PGA Tour priority rank, the top 25 Web.com Tour's regular season players were "zippered" with the top 25 Web.com Tour Finals players. This priority order was then reshuffled several times during the 2016 season.

Patton Kizzire (Finals and regular season combined earnings) and Chez Reavie (Finals earnings) were fully exempt for the 2015–16 season and received invitations to The Players Championship. Patrick Rodgers was also fully exempt on the PGA Tour after earning enough FedEx Cup points as a PGA Tour non-member.
