In 7 months or so, Calgary's Stephen Ames hits 50 and becomes eligible for the Champions Tour.
His stats this year have not been great

His putting has been excellant, but his ball striking was inconsistant. Historically Ames has always been a fantastic ball striker. His driving distance is well down pga standards, and he is not hitting as many greens. I suspect the two are related.
On the champions tour though, his length would be just fine. Im really excited for him and think he can really go on a run out there.
What are the rules for qualifying? Does he automatically get entry due to his career money? Does he need a big start to next pga season ( which he may not have full status for)?
