Hoey to answer call of the dollar

Michael Hoey is determined to gain from his upsurge in form and join Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell on the lucrative PGA Tour next year.

Hoey confirmed he will enter the PGA Tour School later this year and, if successful, will join his fellow Ulstermen tapping into the multi-million dollar States schedule.

Unless the 33-year old Belfast golfer wins a Major like McIlroy and McDowell then he will have to do it the hard way by putting himself through the six-round qualifying school.
