Chad Collins has been removed from the published field of this week's Wells Fargo Championship.
If you missed our blurb on Friday afternoon, he exhausted his medical extension when he missed the cut in New Orleans. He also failed to secure conditional status as a back-up. Therefore, since he's a non-winner on the PGA TOUR, he no longer has status. Mon, Apr 30, 2012 10:35:00 AM

Chad Collins reached the midpoint of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2-over-par 72-74=146 and will miss the cut.

Collins converted eight birdies this week but he swallowed the same number of bogeys in addition to a double. This was his final start via a Major Medical Extension during which he failed to cash in any of his nine tournaments. For the record, he fell $484,656 short of meeting the terms of the MME as well as $228,433 shy of securing conditional status. As a result, the non-winner has forfeited his PGA TOUR status. Look for him on the Nationwide Tour the remainder of the year.

Chad Collins is listed in the published field of next week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

To say that the odds are stacked against Collins at TPC Louisiana next week would be one of the greatest understatements of the year. For starters, he's 0-for-8 on the PGA TOUR this season. More importantly, if he doesn't withdraw before his tee time in the opening round, this will be his final start on his Major Medical Extension. To retain status, he needs to earn $484,656. The Zurich offers a purse of $6.4 million, so Collins needs no worse than a two-way T2 worth $563,200. (A solo third pays just $435,200.) Short of that, he would secure conditional status by banking at least $228,433. A three-way T5 ($233,600) or a solo sixth ($230,400) would fulfill that requirement. If he fails at his secondary goal, the non-winner will lose his PGA TOUR card.

Chad Collins shot 5-over-par 73-74=147 at the RBC Heritage and will miss the cut.

Four bogeys against one birdie on his inward nine today cost him a payday. It's his eighth missed cut in many starts this season. It also leaves him with one starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status. He's $228,433 short of securing conditional status.

Chad Collins will miss the cut at the Transitions Championship after completing two rounds in 9-over-par 79-72=151.

His opener was ugly. He split seven (of 13) fairways but hit only six greens, took 30 putts and carded five bogeys and a triple without finding a single birdie. Now 0-for-7 this year, he's down to two starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status. Given his start to 2012, there's no doubt he's looking at conditional status as a safety net. He'd secure that if he can bank $228,433.

Chad Collins will miss the cut at the Northern Trust Open after reaching its midpoint in 5-over-par 74-73=147.

He hit only nine greens in regulation in both rounds but failed to clean up his wayward play elsewhere, evident by 13 bogeys on his card. This is his fourth missed cut in as many starts this season and leaves him with five starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status.

Chad Collins completed 36 holes of the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 1-over-par 72-71=143, missing the cut on the number.

That he made it that close is mildly impressive since he started his opening round double bogey-triple bogey. He's now 0-for-3 on the year and has six starts remaining on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status.

Chad Collins completed 54 holes of the Humana Challenge in 3-under-par 65-74-74=213 and missed the cut by three strokes.

Collins buried nine birdies at PGA West's Nicklaus Private Course in his opening round, and he totaled 15 birdies for the week, but he was beset by three bogeys, three doubles and a triple, no-no's at this event. The missed cut leaves him with seven starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status. He elected not to enter this week's Farmers Insurance Open.

Chad Collins rebounded in his second round of the Sony Open in Hawaii but will miss the cut on the number at even-par 72-68-140.

Given his time away and his turnaround at Waialae, this is an encouraging performance for his fantasy owners. He hit two more greens in regulation (13) today and took two fewer putts (29) as compared to his opener on Thursday. He also rolled in six birdies, two on each of the par 3s and par 4s. This leaves him with eight starts on his Major Medical Extension to earn $484,656 and retain status. He'll try again at next week's Humana Challenge.

Chad Collins signed for a 2-over-par 37-35=72 following his opening round of the Sony Open in Hawaii.

Out for nearly seven months due to fractured ribs, Collins was predictably off today, hitting just 11 greens and needing 31 putts, but he buried a birdie from 22'6" at the 18th hole to finish today's round. It was one of two birdies to help offset four bogeys.

Chad Collins will begin 2012 with a Major Medical Extension affording him nine starts to earn $484,656 and retain status.

Collins' absence following a withdrawal at the St. Jude Classic in June was a mystery until his page at PGATOUR.com was updated. It revealed that he suffered from fractured ribs. No details on the cause of the injury are available. Once he's able to play again, he'll need to hit the ground running and put together an unprecedented stretch. In 2010, he started 7-for-7 with a T4, two T10s and a T16 and still managed just $468K. Leave him be on draft day.

Collins withdrew during the St. Jude Classic and he hasn't played since. He currently sits in 165th place on the PGA TOUR's Money List and he will need to do well in the second half of the year to retain his TOUR card for the 2012 season.
