The German, who will not turn 26 until December, has won four times this year and moved up to No. 4 in the world rankings.

Kaymer is currently deciding if he is going to join the PGA Tour next year. If he did it would be a big blow to the European Tour. If they do lose Kaymer for 2011 they are ...
