In 2007 he finished just outside the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list, and lost full playing rights for the 2008 season. He returned to the PGA Tour for 2009 through qualifying school. He has alternated between the PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour since 2010. After Purdy's PGA Tour career stalled, he became a representative for a custom car company. In 2013, Purdy earned his first professional win in eight years at the Abierto Mexicano de Golf on PGA Tour Latinoamérica, two steps below the PGA Tour. It was his fourth professional win in four different tours. He has since resumed playing on a more frequent basis, though on the Web.com Tour and third-tier Gateway Tour. Purdy made it to the final rounds of 2013 and 2014 Web.com Tour Qualifying School, but was not able to maintain his tour privileges and plays occasionally through Monday qualifying and Past Champion status.

Purdy's career high world ranking was 64th in 2005.
