The October race turned out to be a long one, stretching over 6 weeks of the season. Although played November (week 44), the Southern Farm Bureau Classic was postponed from week 40 and thus still counted in the October standings.
Pettersson's first GRI Player of the Month honor was well earned as in addition to his win at the Chrysler and his 2nd place finish at the Southern Farm, he also finished T15th at the FUNAI Classic at Walt Disney World Resort, his only other start of the month.
Despite winning the WGC-AMEX in early October, Woods missed the cut at the FUNAI and thus earned zero points for the week. Any top-20 finish at Disney would have been enough to hold of Pettersson.

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.
