The final event in Jacksonville, Fla., for players to earn PGA Tour cards was canceled because of Hurricane Matthew, cutting short the four-tournament qualifying series and costing Andover native Rob Oppenheim his card by $392. The Web.com Tour Championship was to start Thursday at Atlantic Beach Country Club. ‘‘It is unfortunate that we’ve had to cancel our season-ending event,’’ Web.com Tour President Bill Calfee said. ‘‘However, our first priority is the safety of our players, fans, volunteers and staff.’’ The Web.com Tour Championship was the fourth and last event in the Web.com Tour Finals, which awards 25 cards for the PGA Tour season that starts next week. Tim Wilkinson received the last card by barely edging Oppenheim, who made it to the PGA Tour last year for the first time at age 36. Among those who earned their cards through the finals were former US Amateur champion Bryson DeChambeau and past PGA Tour winners Scott Stallings, Will MacKenzie, Rod Pampling, D.A. Points, and Rory Sabbatini.
