The only current Tour member from Denmark, Lucas will now be able to accept unlimited sponsors invites with his new membership status. While he is not eligible to compete in the FedEx Cup playoffs, all FedEx Cup points that he would have earned up to this point will immediately be applied should he win an event before the end of the regular season.
Bjerregaard is currently ranked 44th in the Official World Golf Ranking after his T21 finish two weeks ago at the Masters. With his membership, the number of active international Tour players is now at 90.
