Ernie Els was the fifth highest money winner (with R1,120,503.20) but did not qualify for the Order of Merit, having only played in three events. John Bickerton and Ariel CaƱete were second and fourth respectively in the money list thanks to their victories in the Alfred Dunhill Championship and the Joburg Open, but as non tour members, and having not entered sufficient events, they were also ineligible for the Order of Merit.

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or merit:

    However fiercely opposed one may be to the present order, an old respect for the idea of order itself often prevents people from distinguishing between order and those who stand for order, and leads them in practise to respect individuals under the pretext of respecting order itself.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)

    Though learned, well-bred; and though well-bred, sincere;
    Modestly bold, and humanly severe:
    Who to a friend his faults can freely show,
    And gladly praise the merit of a foe?
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
