Thanks to his victory at the 134th Open Championship and 2nd place finishes in his other July events, the Cialis Western Open and Buick Open, Tiger Woods has won the GRI July 2005 Player of the Month. Woods earned 603.20 GRI ranking points in July, literally lapping his nearest competitor, Vijay Singh and the rest of the field.

Singh closed July strong with a win at the Buick Open, but even with the 160.65 points earned there his total ranking points for the month was only 300.28, less than half of Woods total.

Colin Montgomerie held down the #3 spot with 240 points, all earned for his 2nd place finish at the British Open, and John Deere Classic winner, Sean O'Hair finished #4 with 229.66 points.

Woods July 2005 Player of the Month title is his 3rd player of the month title this year. His others were in January and April. Woods' 603.02 points are a record for a single month. Woods 302.91 point winning margin is 2nd best, the widest margin being Singh's 370.93 point margin in September 2004 when Singh won three times.

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.
