The 280.15 points Jim Furyk earned for his win at the Wachovia Championship was enough to claim the GRI May 2006 Player of the Month. Furyk added 11.71 points for a T17 finish at Colonial but did not need them to take the crown.

Furyk's 291.86 point-total was actually 25.39 behind Trevor Immelman's total of 317.25, but since Immelman did not win an event in May, he was placed behind Furyk. #3 Adam Scott with 251.95 points also failed to win in May, but like Immelman, he had strong finishes in the Wachovia Championship and EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

#4 Brett Wetterich broke through for his first PGA Tour win at the EDS and earned 248 points in the process. #5 Tim Herron took home the winners trophy for the first time in seven years with a win at the Bank of America Colonial and #7 Jeff Maggert also ended a seven-year drought with a win at the FedEx St. Jude Classic.

Criteria for Golf Rank Index - Player of the Month

The Golf Rank Index (GRI) - Player of the Month is determined by totaling GRI ranking points earned in all GRI ranked professional golf events scheduled within a months time frame. Events that bridge a months end or beginning of another, are generally placed in the month in which they end, but may be shifted to the prior month to balance the number of events to be ranked in each month. In the event of a first place tie, co-winners will be named.

Eligibility - All players participating in GRI ranked events are eligible. They do not need to be a member of any professional golf tour.

Must Win - To be named a player of the month, the player MUST have a win in a GRI ranked event in the month. Should any player without a win earn the highest number of GRI ranking points for a given month, the player will be placed behind the highest ranked player with a win.
