Oosthuizen, Schwartzel reverse trend - join US Tour
Going against the recent trend of top Europeans, such as Rory McIlroy, who have given up their membership of the US PGA Tour, comes news that two leading South Africans, Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel, have taken out membership of the American circuit for the 2011 season.
Oosthuizen earned a five-year US PGA Tour exemption when he won the Open at St Andrews in July. Schwartzel earned enough money as a non-member in 2010 to finish among the top 125 on the money list so he was eligible to join, as well.
