7yPeter Jacobsen is set for his first Humana Challenge since 2005.

Jacobsen hasn’t competed in a PGA TOUR event since the 2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, where he missed the cut. He’s in the field this week due to an exemption afforded to past champions of the event, with the win taking place before 1999. In his case, the victory took place all the way back in 1990. While he’s made 24 of 27 cuts in this event, don’t expect this week to result in a 25th paycheck.
