Former Baylor School golf standout Luke List earned a PGA Tour card for the 2015-16 season on Sunday by virtue of finishing in the top 25 of the Web.com Tour Finals. List, who had full status on the PGA Tour in 2013, missed the cut in the first two events of the playoffs. He responded with a tie for fifth at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Classic last week and a tie for 35th Sunday in the Web.com Tour Championship on the Dye's Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. List placed 23rd on the money list during the playoffs; the top 25 earn PGA Tour cards for next year. List closed with a par round of 70 and finished at 3-under-par 277 for the tournament, 11 strokes off the winning score of Argentina's Emiliano Grillo. Only four strokes separated the top four finishers, with Grillo followed by Chez Reavie, Sam Saunders and Rhein Gibson.
