Padraig Harrington is in real danger of slipping out of the top 100 in golf's world rankings.
The Dubliner has fallen to 99th, his lowest position in 14 years.
Recent times have not been kind to the 42-year-old. The three-time major winner has struggled for form in 2013.
He switched to a belly putter in May but that did not have the desired effect on the greens, while he also missed the playoffs at the FedEx Cup for the first time in his career.
He has not won a full Tour event since 2010.
But he will hope to rediscover his form as soon as possible in order to get into Paul McGinley's Ryder Cup selection for the 2014 edition.
At the weekend Continental Europe won the Seve Trophy for the first time since the inaugural event in 2000.
Jose Maria Olazabal's side beat Great Britain and Ireland by 15 points to 13.
Elsewhere the US won the President's Cup by 3 points, with World Number 1 Tiger Woods winning the decisive match.
