Player of the Year

There are 20 Championship events in which Player of the Year points can be earned. This is one way for members to start accumulating points after becoming a Palm Beach Golf Association member. You can find these events located on the Schedule.

Another great way to earn Player of the Year points when starting out is to play in a full schedule of events that offer points in your competition division. Every player who finishes in the top 30% of most events will earn Player of the Year points.

Player of the Year points are updated after completion of every Palm Beach Golf Association Tournament. Updates are completed no later than 24 hours post event completion.

Following the Tour Championship, the PBCGA will declare Player of the Year honors from each of the three Point Cup races (Open, Senior & Super Senior). The reigning champions will be determined by the total accumulation of points following the completion of the Tour Championship.

To be eligible for the Tour Championship & SMIDT Cup team honors you must compete in at least 3 events during the season. 

At the end of October, the Tour Championship presented by Tiger Woods will take place. The field will be comprised of the top 15 Open players from the Open Points Race, the top 12 Senior players from the Senior Points Race and the top 9 Super Senior players from the Super Senior Points Race following the completion of the Abacoa Golf Club Junior Senior.

Yes, Player of the Year points can be earned before becoming a member. However, membership is required to use earned points to qualify for invitational tournaments.

Members can see where all Player of the Year points were earned during the current and previous years while logged into the Player Center.

Player of the Year points that are earned will last for the duration of the year they are earned.
