BORDEAUX, France — Seve Ballesteros, hoping to be in the next Ryder Cup as a player and not the captain, said Americans would see a lot of him as he tries to get his game back.
Ballesteros to play more U.S. golf tourneys
Championship, Masters, U.S. Open and PGA Championship—a total of 11 events.
"I will be playing more in the States next year," Ballesteros said yesterday. "Particularly at the start of the year. It will be a little change. I must do something different to get some more motivation back."
He could find some of the motivation he is looking for at the Novotel-Perrier Pairs tournament this week, a European Tour-sanctioned event with 30 two-man teams.
Ballesteros, who could join the PGA Tour full-time if he desired because of his victory in the 1988 British Open, can receive seven sponsor exemptions next year in addition to playing in the Players

format. In greensome, both players drive, pick one ball and then play alternate-shot from there.
"It will be so nice to be together again," Olazabal said about playing with Ballesteros. He also said the European victory against the United States at Valderrama left both of them mentally exhausted.
For the first time since they captured this title two years ago, Ballesteros will be teamed with his old Ryder Cup partner Jose Maria Olazabal.
"I have never played more than three weeks in a row this year," Olazabal said. "And the Ryder Cup was tough. I have informed the organizers I will not be playing in next week's Dunhill Cup. The (Ryder) Cup takes a lot out of you."
Olazabal's problems with his feet sidelined him for 18 months.
"To be honest, I did better than expected. I won a tournament. I played in the Ryder Cup though I never expected to. And we won. The icing on the cake," he said.
