One of my students that I have been teaching since he was a kid Monday qualified for The PODS with a 66. Jim Renner (no relation to Jack) will be teeing it up as well .

Great, Drew. I've got Jim added to my customized leaderboard at www.pgatour.com.
Is he playing anywhere else, e.g., the Nationwide Tour -- I see he has some stats there -- or one of the mini-tours?

Mostly mini-tours. He had a top ten (eighth) on the Hooters Tour a few weeks ago. Missing the final stage at q-school by a shot did not leave him with any status. So Monday qualifying will have to do it for awhile.
His opening birdie is a highlight video today on the PGA TOUR's website. Check out his delicate little pitch to the par 5 1st. [You'll have to sit through the commercial the first time 'round. After that, you can replay it without that inconvenience.]
