BRADENTON, Fla. Its been five years since Mike Weir has played a full schedule. Weir expects that to change this year.After teeing it up 24 times, mostly on the PGA Tour, in 2014, the 2003 Masters champ has failed to eclipse 15 events in a single year. Now 48, Weir will take advantage of a Web.com Tour exemption that gives status to past PGA Tour members aged 48-49, and he expects to play at least 20 times on the developmental circuit this season.This weeks Lecom Suncoast Classic is his third start of the season and third straight week of competition. I feel fresh and renewed, said Weir, who is finally an empty-nester with his youngest, now 18, in college. I havent played a full schedule in a number of years, or even had a schedule, really. The last couple of years its always been like, I wonder if Ill get in next week. Its hard to prepare that way. Its hard to be at home for month and wonder when youre going to play next. The attention to detail isnt as great as it is when you know when youre playing.Weir competed six times on the Web.com Tour a year ago but made just two cuts. He is coming off a T-41 finish in Panama, his best finish since last June. And that was with an uncharacteristically poor putting performance, which included 12 three-putts.Id never done that before, Weir said. Hopefully, thats an anomaly.Still, Weir feels like hes gaining some momentum because of the improvements hes seen with his long game. Inspired by Phil Mickelson, Weir is working on increasing speed. He knows hell never be considered long, but he also knows this game isnt getting any shorter.In fact, hes making a trip to Augusta National this Monday and Tuesday to check out the lengthened fifth hole.It may actually be better for me, said Weir, who could benefit from the extra height a hybrid will give him on the approach shot into that hole.Weir has missed seven of his last eight cuts at Augusta National, but hell keep coming back as long as hes able. The same goes for other tournaments. Weir would love to regain his PGA Tour card via the Web.com Tour, and if that doesnt happen he could see himself out on the PGA Tour Champions in a few years.As long as the motivations there, Im going to keep playing, Weir said.
