Thanks to his win at the Booz Allen Classic and a tied for 3rd at the U.S. Open, Sergio Garcia has won the GRI June 2005 Player of the Month race. Usually the winner of a major has the advantage for Player of the Month, but U.S. Open winner Michael Campbell did not play in any other GRI rated June events.

Garcia earned 437.67 GRI ranking points for the month of June while #2 Campbell finished with 400 points and U.S. Open runner-up, #3 Tiger Woods, finished with 349.14.

Going into the Barclays Classic, Memorial Tournament winner Bart Bryant was the only player with a chance to catch Garcia. Bryant's chances ended as he missed the 36-hole cut to finish the month at #4 with 272.85 points.

Padraig Harrington won the Barclays Classic yet finished 8th in the monthly standings with a total of 185.15 points. Harrington had additional opportunities but missed the cut at the Booz Allen and U.S. Open.

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.
