• Ryder Cup players get exemption to PGA: Ben Curtis and Boo Weekley are going to the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits despite falling from the top 100 in the world ranking. The PGA of America changed its criteria last year to require that members of the most recent Ryder Cup team stay within the top 100. Officials offered special invitations to Curtis, Weekley and others to fill its 156-man field. The PGA Championship gave exemptions to everyone in the top 100 in Monday’s ranking who were not already eligible.
