Picking up where I left off last March, I'm going to try to predict who will be in the top 60 on the Futures Tour money list and how they will stand at the end of the 2010 season. With so many players having membership on a variety of major and minor tours, it's going to be hard to predict who plays enough on the Futures Tour to end up on top. The Florida's Natural Charity Classic field gives some sense of who the FT regulars will be, but a lot of this is guesswork. The most talented players on this tour often graduate from it early.

Is it still just the top 5 who get their cards, or has Whan changed that yet?
Still just top 5 with real cards. #6-10 get such low status they need to go to Q-School to try to improve on it....
Impressive list. Glad to see some emphasis of the Futures Tour.
I would go higher on Gerina Mendoza. She's was 8th in scoring average last year, below 71.8, despite a poor start to the season. Gerina said she plans to concentrate on DFT instead of juggling two tours with her low LPGA status. She didn't attempt LET.
I have a feeling Whan will bump the full status cards to 10 and put more money into the Futures Tour. Supposedly there was a much greater LPGA presence at the opening of the first DFT event yesterday.
If Whan doesn't bump up the number of cards, tournaments, and purse sizes, you're going to see more FT candidates decide the LET, KLPGA, or JLPGA are a better use of their time and investment in their futures!
