1966 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates
This is a list of the 1966 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates. The tournament was played over 144 holes at the PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in late October.[1][2][3] The tournament represented the totality of the year's PGA Tour Qualifying School; there were no local or regional sections. There were 99 players in the tournament and 32 earned their tour cards.[3][4] Harry Toscano was medalist with a 4-under-par 572.[1][2]
In general, the "1966 class was considered substantially stronger" than the inaugural class from the previous year. A full year after qualifying school, 12 players were still playing full-time on the PGA Tour.[5]
