Senior Player of the Year Point System

  • Point Total is determined by:
  • ALL IGA conducted championships plus the Iowa Senior Match Play (automatic counting event beginning in '08) plus the best three point totals from sanctioned point events plus bonus points.  Iowa Open is awarded as bonus points.
  • Points for 2011 will accumulate through the IGA Senior Shootout (Oct 9). 
    Player must be an Iowa resident, Individual Member of the IGA and contribute to the Partners Program at the Player level or higher to be eligible.
  • In tournaments with professional fields (Herman Sani, Iowa Open) points will be awarded according to finish against the amateur portion of the field.  200 Bonus Points (400 total) will be awarded to an amateur that wins the Iowa Open.
  • Points will not be awarded to amateur players who are not Iowa residents and IGA members.  Positions will not be elevated in order to award those points.  For example: 3rd place points will be awarded the 3rd place finisher even if the 1st and 2nd place finishers are not IGA members.
  • Bonus points are awarded based on final finish.  For example, a player who is a quarter-finalist in the US Amateur will receive 450 points, not 75+150+225+300+450.
  • Tiebreaker (in order):
    1.     Points earned in the IGA Senior Amateur Championship
    2.     Highest point total earned in a Remaining Point Event
    3.     2nd highest point total earned in a Remaining Point Event
    4.    3rd highest point total earned in a Remaining Point Event
  • The IGA Four-Ball Championship is a FULL Point Event.  Points are awarded to each player based on team finish and at 100% of the Sanctioned Point Event Totals.  For example, on the 1st place team, Player A receives 200 points and Player B receives 200 points.
  • The IGA Rules & Competitions Committee reserves the right to award points for outstanding achievements outside the points system.
