What kind of scores do you need to post in the qualifying tournament to even have a chance of becoming a pro and if you do qualify what comes next and how do you get on the Nationwide tour?
The kind of scores one needs to post in order to make it through the qualifying tournaments of the PGA/Nationwide Tour are usually par or better for the the final stage alone of qualifying tournament. There are 3 stages to get through in order to qualify for either one of the tours though (usually beginning within 2 months of the final stage). You have to qualify in the first to get to the second, and the second to get to the final. They usually take the top some odd amount of players in each. The final stage determines whether you'll be in the PGA, Nationwide, or if you have to continue with mini tours. The top 30 go to the PGA. The next 50 are usually exempt for the next year on the Nationwide. These cuts are at the discretion of the PGA though and may change from year to year. The final stage for 2004 consisted of about 156 players...to give an idea of the field. There are more (even better) details on getting into the qualifying tournament for the PGA/Nationwide tour, so you may want to check out http://www.pgatour.com/story/7384196 where you should be able to download an application (PDF) to look over from 2004 (it gives plenty of info on the qualifying). Best of luck!
