Greetings ...

UPDATE -- For the latest reports on Tiger Woods' Wednesday absence from the Players course, go to this YAHOO! News Service Search Link. Put in either Tiger Woods or Earl Woods, and sift thru the results.

Click-on here for the 2006 Players Championship Media Links and Purse Info

If and when a change to the Players purse-1st prize is announced, I will update the web-page.

Right now, the most important Players Championship media link is this one -- 2006 Field

It has not changed sinced Monday Morning. Today is "D-Day" for Camilo Villegas, Nathan Green, Bubba Watson and the other alternates.

The only senior in the field is Loren Roberts - 93rd on the 2005 Official Money List.

Three players qualified solely on the strength of 10-year exemptions: Nick Faldo (96 Masters), Steve Jones (96 US Open) and Mark Brooks (96 PGA). How many of you remember that it was Kenny Perry who Brooks beat in a playoff?

Because of a change in the 2006 qualifications, Ryan Moore, out 6-8 weeks after hand surgery, was not eligible for the event. Graeme McDowell was also a victim of the criteria change.

Thanks for the info Frank-0-Sport...you do a good job in compiling all that data. Thanks for sharing!

What I fail to understand is the top 50 in World followed by top 100 on USPGA money list.

Someone like Grahame McDowell, who is 69 in world, does not even make the reserve list, but Duffy Waldorf who lost his card last year does? Must be a fashion parade !

McDowell won over $1m in 13 events last year, but as a non member he does not get his place in top 100. Crazy.
