It depends if they are exempt to play in them or not. If they are a well known highly ranked golfer, they will play definitely the majors, and some other high profile events such as The Players Championship and the World Golf Championship events. They will also play the events which they are tied into due to sponsorships, and if they are offered an attractive appearance fee. They can also take a week or a few weeks off if they desire. Some other low ranked players who are not exempt or are low down the money list will often play as many as they can, and not have any choice.

What does PGA stand for?
I think you are combining two concepts. You can join the PGA by being a professional in the golf community. This can be a playing pro, teaching pro, club pro, etc. The PGA has a long list of types of pros and PGA members. A "Tour Card", what you typically here about for Q school, or "keeping their card" is a level of exemption for playing on the PGA Tour. Not all PGA professionals are qualified to play on Tour (in fact, most aren't). To keep your card, a big requirement is to place in the top 150 on the money list (I think). You can earn your tour card by placing high enough in Q School, top 25 on the Nationwide money list, etc. You can get exemptions into tournaments based on your play, too. It's complicated to cover all the ways to get to play on tour. I think if you win the Masters, you get an exemption to play in it for the next 10 years as one example. You can play as a pro without joining the PGA. You just declare "pro" in an open tournament. Go out on Monday and qualify. Make it to Thursday. make the cut. Make some money!
How much money does Tiger Woods make for each tournament he wins?
Tiger Woods makes an appearance fee for each tourney, which he receives no matter what happens. If he misses the cut, he still makes between $500,000-$1,000,000, depending on the sponsors and the tourney. Then he also wins purse money, which also depends on the tourney. Suffice it to say that he makes more money just by showing up, regardless of anything else, than most people make in a calender year. Additional note:Tiger Woods only receives an appearance fee for a non PGA Tour event, e.g., when he plays in Dubai, Asia, or Australia. The PGA Tour does not pay fees to PGA Tour members. His endorsement money represents 95% of his income. In 2008, he made over $100 million, but only $5 million of that came from PGA Tour earnings.

How many golfers play on the PGA Tour at one time?
The top 60 players and all ties. 60 is incorrect. With the exception of the US Open (top 60) and the final two events of the FedEx Playoffs (BMW is a no cut event and the Tour Championship is limited field of 30), the cut falls at top 70 and ties. In some cases, there is a secondary cut made on Saturday afternoon or after the finish of the 3rd round if the original cut included more than 85 players, this is noted as "MDF" (Made cut, Did not Finish).
How does the PGA tour divide the purse each week?
It used to be based on the winnner receiving 18% of the total purse, then a sliding scale down from there for the remainder of the field that made the cut. Might still be that way, not sure in these days of multi-million dollar purses!
What is the cutoff in golf?
The cut is made at the half way stage of golf tournament, like the PGA Tour and European Tour. Before the tournament starts there is a number set of how many people will progress to the final rounds, after two rounds this number is set against the field and only those top 70 say will progress. At The Open, it is top 70 and ties, so anyone in the top 70, and those with the same score as 70th will progress. The rest are cut.
