1983 PGA Tour
The 1983 PGA Tour season was played from January 6 to October 30. The season consisted of 43 official money golf tournaments. Seve Ballesteros, Jim Colbert, Mark McCumber, Gil Morgan, Calvin Peete, Hal Sutton, Lanny Wadkins, and Fuzzy Zoeller won the most tournaments, two, and there were 10 first-time winners. The tournament results, leaders, and award winners are listed below.
This was also the first season of the "All-Exempt Tour" which provided many more exemptions per year. For example, those that finished in the top 125 of the money list maintained full-time status rather than the top 60 which had been historic benchmark.[1]

gollark: It seems like you're first suggesting that believing false things can be okay if it's emotionally good, but then contradicting that?
gollark: I don't understand what you're saying.
gollark: "A wizard did it" is a more plausible explanation for lightning than several hundred pages of theory on meteorology and electromagnetism.
gollark: Humans are generally wired to see agency in things which don't actually have it.
gollark: The problem is that "people using psychedelics feel god-related things" is entirely consistent with "god(s) exist" and "god(s) don't exist, but drugs can push god-related buttons in the brain".
