Ricky Ponting Coming soon as a Golfer!

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting might be seen vacillation a golf club next summer as he might be given a sponsor's exception in one of the major tournaments.


 According to a report in the 'Daily Telegraph', "Ponting's standing as a supreme golfer has made him an applicant for a sponsor's exemption in one of next season's key tournaments.'

The Tasmanian, who step down from captaincy after Australia's semifinal exit from the World Cup last month, was allegedly told by nine-time Major winner Gary Player: "The way you hit the ball, you're homicide your time playing cricket."

PGA of Australia's southern division management officer Nick Thornton said the 36-year-old could be given an invite the instant he decides to take up golf full-time.

"We don't want to take him out of our Test line-up just yet, and we don't want to take away opportunity for up-and-coming players, but it would be great for golf in Australia for an significant person like Ricky Ponting to play in one of our events," Thornton was quoted as saying by the newspaper.

"It certainly would create a lot of attention for one of those tournaments, so that is something we are always involved in."
