Nicholas K. Lindheim (born November 9, 1984) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour. [1]
Lindheim turned professional in 2005 [2] and played on several U.S. mini-tours during his early career including the Florida Professional Golf Tour. His first win on this tour came at the 2010 event at Pelican Bay. Subsequently, he won a further five events on the tour.
In 2014, Lindheim joined the Web.com Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamérica. During his season on the Web.com Tour, he achieved two top-10 finishes. In 2014, Lindheim qualified for his first major championship by shooting 7-under-par in sectional qualifying for the 2014 U.S. Open. [3] He went on to make the cut and finished in a tie for 56th. In October 2014, Lindheim achieved his first win in an Official World Golf Ranking points event by winning the Arturo Calle Colombian Classic on PGA Tour Latinoamérica. [4] He finished 51st on the 2015 regular season money list and 39th on the Finals list, not enough to qualify for a PGA Tour card. In 2016, he earned his first win on the Web.com Tour at the Utah Championship. This win helped him finish in the top 25 in the regular season to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2016–17 season. After a disappointing rookie season, he qualified for the 2017 Web.com Tour Finals by finishing 197 on the FedEx Cup point list. He regained his PGA Tour card by winning the 2017 DAP Championship.

The Korn Ferry Tour is the developmental tour for the U.S.-based PGA Tour, and features professional golfers who have either not yet reached the PGA Tour, or who have done so but then failed to win enough FedEx Cup points to stay at that level. Those who are on the top 30 of the money list at year's end are given PGA Tour memberships for the next season. Since the 2013 season, the Korn Ferry Tour has been the primary pathway for those seeking to earn their PGA Tour card. Q-School, which had previously been the primary route for qualification to the PGA Tour, has been converted as an entryway to the Korn Ferry Tour.
In professional golf, the term qualifying school is used for the annual qualifying tournaments for leading golf tours such as the U.S.-based PGA and LPGA Tours and the European Tour. A fixed number of players in the event win membership of the tour for the following season, otherwise known as a "tour card", meaning that they can play in most of the tour's events without having to qualify. They join the leaders on the previous year's money list/order of merit and certain other exempt players as members of the tour.
