He joined the second tier [Nationwide Tour](/source/Nationwide_Tour) in 2005, but failed to win enough money to graduate directly to the [PGA Tour](/source/PGA_Tour). He finally obtained his PGA Tour card by finishing inside the top 25 at the 2007 [qualifying school](/source/Qualifying_school).[2] Wilkinson had a successful rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2008, the highlights being an outright third at the [Zurich Classic of New Orleans](/source/Zurich_Classic_of_New_Orleans) and finishing joint runner-up at the [Valero Texas Open](/source/Valero_Texas_Open), two shots behind winner [Zach Johnson](/source/Zach_Johnson). He made over one million dollars in prize money and finished 92nd on the final money list.[3][4] In 2009, Wilkinson played in the final pairing at the [Verizon Heritage](/source/Verizon_Heritage), but faded to finish T6.[5] A thumb ligament injury curtailed his season and saw him gain a major medical extension of his playing rights. By June 2010 he had played the 12 events this extension afforded him, and had not earned enough money to retain his status.[6] Wilkinson finished fifth on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular season money list to earn his 2014 PGA Tour card. ## Amateur wins - 2000 New Zealand Stroke Play Championship - 2001 Singapore Open Amateur Championship - 2002 [SBS Invitational](/source/SBS_Invitational) ## Playoff record **Korn Ferry Tour playoff record (0–1)** No. Year Tournament Opponent Result 1 2019 LECOM Health Challenge Ryan Brehm Lost to birdie on first extra hole ## Results in major championships Tournament 2016 2017 2018 Masters Tournament U.S. Open T61 T48 The Open Championship PGA Championship   Did not play CUT = missed the half-way cut "T" indicates a tie for a place ## Team appearances **Amateur** - [Nomura Cup](/source/Nomura_Cup) (representing New Zealand): 2001 - [Eisenhower Trophy](/source/Eisenhower_Trophy) (representing New Zealand): [2002](/source/2002_Eisenhower_Trophy) - [Bonallack Trophy](/source/Bonallack_Trophy) (representing Asia/Pacific): 2002 (winners) **Professional** - [World Cup](/source/World_Cup_(men's_golf)) (representing New Zealand): [2013](/source/2013_World_Cup_of_Golf) ## See also - [2007 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates](/source/2007_PGA_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates) - [2013 Web.com Tour Finals graduates](/source/2013_Web.com_Tour_Finals_graduates) - [2015 Web.com Tour Finals graduates](/source/2015_Web.com_Tour_Finals_graduates) - [2016 Web.com Tour Finals graduates](/source/2016_Web.com_Tour_Finals_graduates) - [2019 Korn Ferry Tour Finals graduates](/source/2019_Korn_Ferry_Tour_Finals_graduates) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Howit, Bob (1 February 2016).
