(Reuters) - U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk tweaked the selection criteria for the 2018 Ryder Cup against Europe by placing a premium on in-form players, the PGA of America said on Wednesday. Last year, former Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III selected three players after the first playoff event and made his final pick after the playoff finale, the Tour Championship. The four WGC events and The Players Championship will award one point for every $2,000 earned. In 2018, there will be more opportunities to earn points at regular PGA Tour events while the marquee events will offer bigger points. PGA Tour events in 2018 through to the PGA Championship in August will offer one point per $1,000 earned.
