European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie has withdrawn from next week's European Masters in Switzerland, the event which launches Europe's year-long Cup points campaign.

Colin Montgomerie tees off at the Andalucia Open, marking his 500th European Tour event - 0

"I need a week to recharge my batteries but I will avidly tune in to all the coverage as the race for Ryder Cup points kicks off," Montgomerie said in a statement after completing his final round at the Johnnie Walker Championship in Gleneagles on Sunday.

Four players for Montgomerie's 12-man team for next year's match against the US holders will be chosen from a world points list and five from a European points list, with three wildcards added.
