Recent success stories include Ted Potter, Russell Knox, Will Wilcox (past winner), Matt Hendrix, Josh Broadaway, Will Claxton, & Casey Wittenberg who have moved up to The Nationwide Tour. Additionally Eric Onesi & Zack Sucher have attained conditional status. Both Ted Potter and Russell Knox appear to be in a prime position to move on to the PGA Tour in 2012 because of how high up they are ranked on this year's Nationwide Tour. Philip Pettitt (2011 winner) recently made it through the first stage of The European PGA Tour qualification school.
