Singh earned 355.05 GRI ranking points to lead the May race, 84 more than Colonial champion, Kenny Perry's 270.80 points.
May was the second time this season Singh led a monthly race in points, yet this marks his first time to win Player of the Month. Singh led Fred Funk in the March GRI point total, but was placed 2nd due to the fact that he did not post a March victory. A victory within the period is a requirement to win player of the month. In addition Singh has been the most consistent performer of the season thus far, placing 2nd in January and April.
Other May event winners include #3 Ted Purdy at the EDS Byron Nelson and #4 Tim Petrovic at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. #5 David Toms, #6 Billy Mayfair and #7 Chris DiMarco did not post May wins, but each earned enough points to finish ahead of #8 Justin Leonard, winner of 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.
