How are the Player of the Year standings determined?

At every event, Player of the Year points will be awarded. Points will be reflective on the tier of the event (Regular events and Majors (3x Regular Event Points), All ties will result in points being awarded through a tie-breaking method (3 players tie for 2nd place, points for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will be divided by 3 and awarded to the 3 players).

At the conclusion of every event, all players will be put into a single flight and points will be awarded based on finish and will be added to that player’s running total for the Player of the Year race.

The Top 15 players in both Gross & Net races will be invited to the Tour Championship where points will be reset and final PotY standings will be determined by Tour Championship results.

How do I qualify for the Tour Championship?

Simple. Be an Idaho Golf Tour member and finish the regular season in top 15 of either the Gross PotY or Net PotY race.

Tour Championship Tie-Breaker

In the event that the Tour Championship ends in a tie, the following tie-breaking structure will be applied.

NET: Sudden death playoff using the following to determine player handicaps in playoff.

(1/18 * Handicap) rounded up or down to the nearest half or full shot.

Example:

Player A is a 5 handicap

Player B is a 17 handicap

Player A gets 0.5 strokes in playoff (1/18 * 5 = 0.27 rounded up to nearest half/full shot)

Player B gets 1 stroke in playoff (1/18 * 17 = .94 rounded up to nearest half/full shot)

Player A makes a gross 4, net 3.5 on playoff hole

Player B makes a gross 4, net 3 on playoff hole

Player B wins the playoff

In the event that a playoff is not possible, a sudden-death scorecard playoff starting on the hardest hole will determine the winner.
