Kaymer pays price for not playing 15 events

EDISON, N.J. – Martin Kaymer will be limited to just a dozen events next year on the PGA Tour after failing to meet his minimum 15 starts this season.

Kaymer failed to advance to the FedEx Cup Playoffs and finished the year with just 13 starts.

Although he won last year’s U.S. Open and Players Championship the German will not be eligible for full status until the 2016-17 season under Tour regulations.

“Gaining full eligibility to play on both Tours – the PGA Tour and the European Tour – is a challenge,” Kaymer said in a statement.
