This article is part of our DraftKings Euro Tour series.
This article covers international players who did not have a PGA Tour card last season but earned one for 2019-20. These are players who as non-members finished with the equivalent points to the top 125 on the 2018-19 FedExCup Points List. Earnings include money from PGA Tour events and WGC events.
Matthew Fitzpatrick
2019-20 Projected Earnings: $2,400,000
2018-19 Earnings: $1,553,750
2018-19 Events: 14
Fitzpatrick finished atop the non-member points list last season with 665, equivalent to 71st on the FedEx list to qualify for the PGA Tour this season for the first time. The Englishman seems poised for a big season. He only missed one cut last season in stroke-play events and had some high finishes, including a solo second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and T4 at WGC-Fed Ex St. Jude. Fitzpatrick will be one to pay close attention to at the majors — he was T12 in 2019 and 2018 at the U.S. Open. He is a bit shorter off the tee but very accurate, and his putter tends to keep him in the hunt.
Matt Wallace
2019-20 Projected Earnings: $2,350,000
2018-19 Earnings: $1,267,400
2018-19 Events: 12
Wallace only missed two cuts in 12 PGA Tour events last season, his highest finish coming at the PGA Championship where he was T3. He also had a good week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing T6. All told, he earned 461 non-member points for the equivalent of 105th place on the FedEx to earn his first PGA Tour card.

The Englishman's season on the European Tour wasn't too shabby either, as he had three T3s. Wallace has shown he can hang with the big dogs in the big events. He should have no problem competing each time out this season should he choose to play a heavy load of PGA events rather than Euro events. This could be a breakout year for the 29-year-old Englishman. Keep an eye on Wallace, especially when the stakes are high, as this could be a breakout season for the 29-year-old.
Doc Redman
2019-20 Projected Earnings: $2,100,000
2018-19 Earnings: $1,003,290
2018-19 Events: 6
Redman is from North Carolina, but he earned his first PGA Tour card thanks to his work last season on Canada's Mackenzie Tour. He made four of six cuts at PGA Tour events last year and finished as high as solo-second at Rocket Morgage Classic, earning 400 non-member points to finish the equivalent of 123rd on the FedEx list. Redman has a good all-around game. He is long and accurate off the tee and is precise with his irons. Redman turns just 22 in late December but has already provided excitement with great results. If he can build off what he has already accomplished, this could be a big season for him with high finishes and, before long, a win.
Lucas Bjerregaard
2019-20 Projected Earnings: $970,000
2018-19 Earnings: $592,694
2018-19 Events: 14
Bjerregaard was inconsistent last season, making nine of 14 PGA cuts. At the start of the season, he played the weekend in a handful of back-to-back events but soon got sporadic. His standout moment was defeating Tiger Woods in match play at the WGC-Dell Technologies event. Despite the inconsistency, it was enough to earn a PGA Tour card as a non-member — barely. His 394 non-member points ranked as the equivalent of 124th on the FedEx points list. The 28-year-old Dane has won five international events, including the 2018 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. His length off the tee gives him an advantage (he ranked 12th in driving distance last season). He will need to tidy up his putting and around the green play to be more consistent this season.
