Kaymer, Colsaerts to join US Tour



Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium and Martin Kaymer of Germany are part of the latest group of European golfers to join the USPGA Tour.

Kaymer has been eligible to become a US Tour member since he won the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits two years ago.

Three other international players – Peter Hanson of Sweden, Ryo Ishikawa of Japan and David Lynn of England – will become members next year. Lynn was the runner-up at this year's PGA Championship.

Kaymer rolled in the clinching putt for Europe in the 2012 Ryder Cup in Chicago. He will be considered a PGA Tour rookie, even though his 10 career wins include a major and World Golf Championship.

The additions means 28 of the top 30 players in the world ranking will be USPGA Tour members.
