The San Diego Players Cup 2022
Gross Division
LPGA Amateurs San Diego is proud to present the 1st annual season-long San Diego Players Cup 2022 - Gross Division, a stroke-play competition modeled after the Fed Ex Cup.
Event Format:
- This registration is for the GROSS division. It is NOT flighted. (A Net division is being offered separately and players registering for Gross may also register for Net).
- The 1st Place Finisher in the Race to the 2022 Cup will receive a Revolving Trophy along with the 1st place cash payout. All the winners, trophy and cash payouts will be announced at the Holiday Party in December.
- Season will run from January 23, 2022 (the Crossings) and go through November 30, 2022.
- Champions and purse winners at the end of the season will be determined by points accumulated throughout eligible stroke-play events
- Eligible Players Cup Events:
- Stroke Play Events (No match play, scrambles or other odd formats)
- Any short or long course with a course and slope rating
- Both Weekday and Weekend events in which there are a minimum of 8 Players Cup participants (TBD, depending on the final number of Gross Division registrants)
- NOTE: When you register you may not know whether the event will be eligible for points or not. Once registration is complete, eligibility will be determined.
Points System:
- All Players Cup players will be ranked by total GROSS score over the 18 holes for each event.
- The top 12 golfers earn points in descending order using the following point allocation
1st – 25 pts
2nd – 18 pts
3rd – 12 pts
4th – 9 pts
5th – 8 pts, etc
Total points awarded will be 100 points per Event:
-
- Ties will split points evenly across the number of tied positions.
- Positions lower than 12th place earn no points that day, unless there were ties.
- The best 8 rounds, for the season for each person (i.e. up to 8 of your best rounds played, with the most points) goes into your final total. For Example:

Scoring and Play:
- This year, EVERY hole needs to be holed out, until the Max of 10 is reached.
- If you X out on any hole during an eligible round, you are disqualified from earning points for that round.
- All participants must play from the same tee box in each event.
- Cup Standings will be available for viewing after EACH event on our chapter website.
Payout Distribution:
- $20 buy-in. The deadline to register is March 7, 2022. You cannot accumulate points until you buy in (i.e. no back calculation for prior events you played).
- Any year-end standing ties will be broken by the Number of Events played during the season, with the winner of ties being the player who played in MORE, not less, events.
- A player must play in at least five events to win any purse prize.
- The actual number of entries will determine the prize pool. At least 25% of the players will be awarded cash prizes.
- The 2021 Actual Payout for the Net Division is displayed below. The 2022 Payout for the Gross Division will most likely follow a similar format, with the top-3 getting approximately 30/15/12%
