"Q-School is never fun, at least not for me," Tim O'Neal said.
Even though his first crack at PGA Tour Champions Q-School went as he hoped.
O'Neal, who turned 50 in August, has played professional golf for nearly two decades, with 154 Korn Ferry Tour starts and three PGA Tour Latinoamerica wins. The Savannah, Georgia, native has notably played on the APGA Tour — a non-profit circuit dedicated to diversifying golf — since its inception in 2010 and is considered the tour's elder statesman.
However, his PGA Tour dreams never came to fruition, partly due to several heartbreaks at PGA Tour Q-School.
