Fred Funk didn’t earn any Charles Schwab Cup points last week, but he still
maintained his lead over Jerry Pate by 60 points in the standings. Pate
earned 240 points for his Turtle Bay Championship victory. Allen Doyle,
Bernhard Langer and Loren Roberts round out the top five. Doyle (2001) and
Roberts (2007) are both previous Charles Schwab Cup champions.
Charles Schwab Cup standings through the Turtle Bay Championship are as
follows:
The Charles Schwab Cup is a season-long points program designed to
recognize the Tour’s leading player. The program rewards both top finishes
and week-in/week-out consistency at all 29 official Charles Schwab Cup
events. Points are awarded to the top-10 finishers and ties and are based
on the money distribution for each tournament, with every $1,000 earned
being the equivalent of one Charles Schwab Cup point. Points are doubled at
the Champions Tour’s five major championships and the season-ending Charles
Schwab Cup Championship.
The winner of the 2008 Charles Schwab Cup will earn a $1 million annuity.
The second through fifth-place finishers earn annuities of $500,000,
$300,000, $200,000 and $100,000.
The previous winners in the competition are Allen Doyle (2001), Hale Irwin
(2002 and 2004), Tom Watson (2003 and 2005), Jay Haas (2006) and Loren
Roberts (2007).
