U. S. Ryder Cup Qualifications (Captain Paul Azinger)

The PGA of America points system will determine the top eight players for the 2008 United States Ryder Cup Team. In addition, the Captain Paul Azinger will have four selections to complete the team. The points system will begin with golf’s four major championships in 2007. It will resume Jan. 1 through Aug. 11, 2008. The points will be based upon the following:

Prize money earned in the 2007 major championships (Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship – one point for every $1,000 earned, all U.S. players making the cut will earn points).

Prize money earned in 2008 in official events from Jan. 1 through Aug. 11 (one point for every $1,000 earned, excluding the major championships and events played opposite major championships, all U.S. players making the cut will earn points).

Prize money earned in the 2008 major championships (Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, PGA Championship (two points for every $1,000 earned, all U.S. players making the cut will earn points).

Prize money earned in 2008 events played opposite the major championships and opposite World Golf Championship events between Jan. 1 and the PGA Championship, Aug. 11 (one-half point for every $1,000 earned, all U.S. players making the cut will earn points).

With the 2006 points system having been in effect prior to the 2008 points system being announced, it has been determined that all U.S. players who finished in the top 10 in all official events from Aug. 27 through Nov. 5, 2006, will be awarded one-quarter point for every $1,000 earned. The Captain’s four selections will be made after the 2008 PGA Championship at a date to be determined.

The 37th Ryder Cup will be held September 16-21, 2008, at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky.
