Renato Paratore missed out by one stroke on the DP World Tour, while Matt Wallace and Danny Willett suffered on the PGA in a similarly agonising fashion.

Here is a quick look at which big names will have to reconsider their options on tour after missing out on their respective cards.

DP World Tour

Renato Paratore

The Italian thought he had done enough on the 18th green at the Portugal Masters, but he ended up one stroke and one spot outside the full playing privileges slots in 118th.

David Drysdale

Tied for eighth place in Portugal, meaning the Scot has never finished first in any of the 574 tournaments he has played so far on the DP World Tour. Only 22 men have teed it up more often, all having pulled out a victory. At least in terms of longevity and stamina, Drysdale deserves something more regal than the “journeyman” tag he epitomises for so many, which meant he ended the season in 158th place.

There are plenty more big names wondering what the future holds…

Joost Luiten

Famously beat Miguel Angel Jimenez in the 2013 KLM Open among his six titles in 2013, but is searching for a card and some sponsors invites in 2023. At 36, he can still get back.

Kiradech Aphibarnrat

Four pro titles, but Kiradech never quite reached the heights and will have to do it the hard way again. Still has a few years to get back on track.

David Horsey
Big things were predicted after he won the BMW International Open in 2010, but he dropped of the pace after 2015 and is back to Q-School at 37.

Brandon Stone

The South African is only 29 and has three DP World Tour crowns, but a slump has him back at the drawing board.

Wilco Nienaber
Hopefully the 22-year-old will be back up with the big guns after missing out.

Lucas Bjerregaard
At 31, the 2017 Portugal Masters champ is at the crossroads, but he has the ability to get back on track. 

PGA Tour

Matt Wallace

Ouch. Missed out by one spot when Joohyung Kim won the August Wyndham Championship. Has confirmed he will go through KFT.

Danny Willett

The 2016 Masters champ is on limited events and no longer has an exemption thanks to that sole PGA Tour win, and that three-putt to gift Max Homa the Fortinet Championship will hurt even more if he cannot cling on to his card.

Harry Higgs

A total of 17 missed cuts in 25 tournaments means it could be a tough year for the 31-year-old, who is yet to register his first PGA Tour win.   

Rory Sabbatini

The Paraguayan narrowly missed out on Olympic gold, but the season went downhill after a P3 at the Shriners Children’s Open. 

Charley Hoffman
A FedEx Cup regular will he pinning hopes on exemptions and invites in 2023.

Bill Haas
No more exemptions for the 2011 Tour Championship winner  after a torrid 2022 saw only two top 25s.

Luke Donald

The European Ryder Cup captain will be busy ahead of Rome in September, and his exemptions are all used up, despite being a former world No. 1. Should be OK for sponsor invites.
