2007 U.S. Eligibility
The PGA of America adopted a two-year point system in 2006 that will determine the U.S. Team that will compete in the 2007 PGA Cup. The point system will for the first time include a player's performance in two PGA Professional National Championships. The 2007 U.S. Team will be determined by points distributed to the top 10 finishers at each PGA Professional National Championship. Points will have a higher value during the year in which the PGA Cup is played. For 2006, winning the PGA Professional National Championship will be worth 225 points. In 2007, the PGA Professional National Championship victory will be worth 300 points. (See point chart below)

2007 - The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation – Greensboro, Ga.
The Oconee ("Oh-KONE-ee") Course, named after the lake that serves as the centerpiece of Reynolds Plantation, made its debut in 2002 and immediately displayed its versatility in being selected among the "Ten Best New Upscale Courses" by Golf Digest, and garnered a No. 5 ranking for Golf For Women's "50 Best Courses for Women." Designed by Rees Jones, The Oconee Course is part of a community that features a 251-room Ritz-Carlton Lodge that also opened in 2002.

Oconee, the Creek Indian name for "Great Waters," is aptly titled for a championship course that may extend to more than 7,100 yards. The famed lake comes into play on five holes, and additional water hazards affect four other holes. Interior creeks and ponds, as well as extensive bunkering, ensure a challenging but fair test for a player of any ability.

The Oconee Course lies in the heart of Georgia, and is what Jones hailed as a layout that required little alteration to achieve a championship design.

"We have uncovered a dramatic golf course without changing a lot of what we found when we got here," said Jones, whose career handiwork includes seven U.S. Open venues, five PGA Championship courses and three Ryder Cup sites. "The classic golf course that we designed fits the land perfectly."
