Omar Uresti just won the PGA Professional Championship, even though he's never worked as a PGA pro and played for 20 years on the PGA Tour and Web.com tour (earning $4.7M lifetime). Apparently there is a bit of a loophole which allows him to play in the PGA sectional tournaments made up of the working PGA Pros, leading up to the PGA Pro Championship. Uresti won this year in a playoff, giving him an invite to the PGA Championship next year. He never qualified for the PGA championship when he played on Tour. He also used wins in his PGA Sectional tournaments to "earn" exemptions to the Shell Houston Open and the Valero Texas Open.
Although he's within the rules, the PGA pros are a little miffed by what he's doing. He's taking exemptions into tour events that probably should be going to actual PGA Pros, not former Tour players that couldn't make it on the Tour anymore.
