Ryo Ishikawa gets PGA Tour card! Wins in Japan after 2 year drought!

It was an amazing finish on the PGA Tour at Disney.  Congratulations Charlie Beljan!

Now that the 2012 PGA Tour season has come to a close, the top 125 on the money list obtained a Tour Card for 2013.

 

Ryo Ishikawa also obtained a US PGA Tour card for 2013:

He has played in 18 events in 2012 and he was not an official member of the US PGA Tour, he earned $870,000 to get within the 125 ranking and obtained the tour card for 2013.

 

 

Ryo is obviously excited and commented that he is looking forward to playing in the US.

Does this mean that he is going to be full time in the US?

Although the sigining with Callaway for 2013 season is not official, it seems like Ryo is coming to the US!

 

Ryo also won his 10th tournament in Japan last week at:

Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters 2012

 

His 2 year drought has ended.

 

He is now 21 years old and won 10 tournaments already.

 

He has a lot to learn in the US but I am sure he has the right attitude.

 

Go Ryo!

After 5 years with Yonex, Ryo might be moving on.

 

It might be an indication that he is more commited to play in US but Callaway is also very popular in Japan too.

 

The contract is said to be worth $7million per year.

 

Ryo has not being playing well lately outside of Japan.  But maybe due to jet lag.

I hope he commits more time in US.  Get familiarized with the golf course and battle for the win.

 

It will be exciting for Callaway!

I would like to see Tour Players play more municipal courses in exhibition and see how low they can score!
