Big-hitting Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts has won a 2013 PGA Tour card and is set to join several Ryder Cup team mates who play the majority of their golf in the United States.
"It's official now. . . PGA Tour member!!" the world number 34 said on his Twitter account yesterday after the PGA Tour season came to a close on Sunday.
Colsaerts earned enough money as a non-member in 2012 and is therefore eligible for a place on the world's most lucrative circuit next season.
Colsaerts became the first Belgian to play in the Ryder Cup in September.
