10:29 AM ET 11.08 | Stuart Appleby isn't using his last chance to work his way into the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list next week and will lose his exempt status when the season ends at the conclusion of the Children's Miracle Network Classic at Disney World. Appleby, who is No. 134 on the PGA Tour money list and lives in Windermere, did not commit to play at Disney when the deadline passed on Friday. Instead, he's chosen to give the thrill of a lifetime to a giant group of juniors in his Australian homeland. As part of Appleby's participation in the Australian Masters next week, he is leading a special clinic on Wednesday for the Stuart Appleby Junior Golf Foundation. It's special because Tiger Woods has agreed to speak to the estimated 1,000 children who will take part, according to Bobby Kreusler, Appleby's manager at Blue Giraffe Sports. Woods is scheduled to address the youth after his pro-am round at Kingston Heath Golf Club in Melbourne.

Whoever finishes 125th on the money list and gets the exemption should give him a call to thank him. Not that I expect that to happen.
