Cameron Percy will return to the US PGA Tour for a fourth stint after securing one of 25 tour cards up for grabs over the secondary tours regular season.

The 40-year-old finished 14th on the money list after this week's final regular season event, making his charge by winning the Price Cutter Charity Championship earlier this month.

Percy is the only Australian in the top 25 but eight others have finished between 26th and 75th, guaranteeing them a place in the four-week finals series where 25 more cards will be awarded.

James Nitties has come home with a wet sail, finishing tied fifth in Oregon this week to move into 70th place.

Rod Pampling (38th), Steve Allan (39th), Ashley Hall (44th), Alistair Presnell (49th), Aron Price (60th), Mat Goggin (62nd) and Adam Crawford (63rd) will also all take part in the finals series.

They will be joined by Greg Chalmers, Bronson La'Cassie and Scott Gardiner who earned a place in the finals via the PGA Tour, finishing outside the top 125 but inside the top 200 to get a second chance to return to the big stage next season.

The finals get underway next week in Indiana before moving to North Carolina, Ohio and finishing at the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

Percy will play in the finals to attempt to improve his ranking up from 14th, helping to solidify more starts on the main tour next year.

Percy makes 11 fully exempt Australians on the US PGA tour for 2014-15 led by world No.2 Adam Scott, Jason Day, John Senden, Marc Leishman, Stuart Appleby, Steven Bowditch, Matt Jones, Aaron Baddeley, Robert Allenby and Geoff Ogilvy.
