Ryuji Imada will make his final start of the 2009 PGA Tour season at the Viking Classic this week. The event, which is held at Annandale Golf Club, in Madison, MS, is the fourth of five tournaments that comprise the Fall Series.

Imada has earned $706,394 thus far in 2009, which ranks 108th on the Official Money List. Imada will have full status on the PGA Tour in 2010 based upon his win at last year's AT&T Classic.
