He earned his Professional Golf Association Tour card for the 2007 season by finishing 2nd on the money list in the Nationwide Tour in 2006.
In 2008 Wagner gained his first Professional Golf Association Tour victory at the Shell Houston Open.
In 2010, Wagner finished 126th on the Professional Golf Association Tour after a rally at the season finale fell short, just missing full Tour privileges. He was described as "delighted" because he started the week 153rd on the money list.
Wagner"s improved position meant avoiding the second stage of Professional Golf Association Tour Q School and retaining conditional status on the Professional Golf Association Tour rather than having to play out of the past champions category. He also moved into the Top 100 in the OWGR for the first time in his career, moving from 198 to 92.
Wagner had a disappointing 2014 season on the Professional Golf Association Tour and finished 150th on the Federal Express Cup points list (the last position to retain any Professional Golf Association Tour status), leaving him conditionally exempt for the 2014-2015 season.
Having lost his full playing privileges, Wagner earned entry as a sponsor exemption for the 2015 Shell Houston Open. Wagner lost in a sudden-death playoff to J. B. Holmes on the second extra hole. This moved Wagner from 180th in the Federal Express Cup standings to 81st.
