I saw this definition at pba.com

The Golden Parachute Exemption
This would be best summarized as the second chance exemption.  A full year on Tour without having to bowl your way in through the TQR’s.  And the PBA probably gave it to the best possible option in Brian Voss.  A 24-time titlist on the PBA Tour who is currently competing on the PBA Scorefest Tour (errr…I mean the Senior Tour).  I’m looking at the guys that have lost their exemptions in the past few years and I can’t think of anyone who has done more for the PBA.  He has a pretty significant fan base, his hair is never out of place, and he’ll be able to compete.  Therefore, I can’t agree more with this exemption.
