This week: PGA Tour's Children's Miracle Network Classic, Thursday through Sunday, Magnolia and Palm Golf Courses, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

World ranking: 128th.

2008 earnings: $1,214,900 (84th on PGA Tour).

Last tournament: The Puyallup native has an outside chance to eclipse his career-best earnings of $1,554,901 with a strong finish this week, and has made the cut at this tournament in two of three tries, including a tied-for-13th in 2005. Moore last played at the Frys.com Open in late October, missing the cut (1-over-par 141), but before that had posted back-to-back top-25 finishes.

Tee time Thursday: 4:35 a.m. PDT off the first tee of Palm GC with Bob Estes and Bob Heintz.

This week: Nationwide Tour Championship, Thursday through Sunday, TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas.

World ranking: 571st.

2008 earnings: $127,506 (49th on Nationwide Tour).

Last tournament: The Tacoma native's run of six consecutive made cuts ended at last month's Miccosukee Championship (3-over 145), falling one spot on the money list. For Putnam to climb into the top 25 and earn his PGA Tour card for 2009, his goal this week is simple: Win or finish second in the 59-player to bring his total to near $210,000.

Tee time Thursday: 6:33 a.m. PDT off the first tee with Gavin Coles.
