Els participated in just one event in October, the WGC-AMEX but his win in the event earned him 300 points, enough to finish in the #2 spot.
October marks the second overall and second straight player of the month award for Singh. He dominated the September race and had he shot one single stroke better at the WGC-NEC in August he could have won three months in a row. Singh finished 2nd in the monthly race 4 times; January, April, July and August.
To win the player of the month, a player must have a win in the period. In addition to #1 Singh and #2 Els, other winners for the month were #3 Ryan Palmer at the FUNAI Classic, #6 Brent Geiberger in Greensboro, #8 Andre Stolz in Las Vegas and # 14 Fred Funk at the Southern Farm Bureau 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.
