Yang's one-stroke victory over Rollins on Sunday at The Honda Classic moved him into the top 10 in the 2009 FedExCup standings to qualify for the CA Championship. The win is the first of Yang's career on the PGA TOUR and made Yang just the second South Korean-born player to capture a PGA TOUR event, joining seven-time winner K.J. Choi.

The victory for Yang was worth 500 points and moved him to No. 9 in the FedExCup standings with 579 points. Rollins' runner-up finish also gained him entry into this week's event propelling him from No. 22 to No. 8 in the standings. CA Championship defending champion Geoff Ogilvy leads the list with 1,176 points.

A T13 at The Honda Classic was just enough for Love to move to No. 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking and earn the final spot in the CA Championship field. Love has moved up the ranking with consistent play dating back to the end of the 2008 season. The winner of the final event of the 2008 PGA TOUR season at the Children's Miracle Network Classic at the Walt Disney World Resort, Love finished in the top 11 in four of his last six events last season. He started 2009 with a runner-up finish at the season-opening Mercedes-Benz Championship and has missed one cut in five starts including four finishes in the top 25. Love makes his return to the CA Championship after failing to qualify for the 2008 event for the first time since the tournament began in 1999.

"The addition of Davis Love, John Rollins and Y.E. Yang strengthens what is already a world-class field," said Eddie Carbone, executive director of the CA Championship "We have all 80 players who qualified committed to play in what should be one of our most exciting events in our tournament's history."

Each year, the World Golf Championships series brings together the best players from across the globe to play against each other. There are currently 80 players qualified for this year's CA Championship, representing 20 countries. The 80-man field is the largest in the tournament's history.
