We're soon going to find out which players are risking their current tour status to join, and it's supposedly 15 of the world's top 100. Other than their card, I believe this jeopardizes Ryder/President Cup status, though I'm not sure how Augusta will handle it. Some names already floated as set to join are Bubba Watson, Lee Westwood, Kevin Na, and Ian Poulter (of course). Wouldn't be surprised if that list included older players like Sergio Garcia, Marc Leishman, Justin Rose, etc. looking for a last decent payday.
My guess is that the overall list will comprise mostly players from the DP World Tour (the top European circuit), and that will be the tour hit the hardest due to the regional overlap.
