General Notes: 1) Please refer to the Point Grid for the breakdown of points by referring to the starting value of each event & by the number of players in the field. Points awarded are now tied to the size of the field.
2) A maximum of ten (10) tournaments from the period from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018 will count for points on the National Men's Order of Merit.
3) A player may play in more than ten (10) events on the tournament listing but only the best ten (10) events will count for points.
4) If two or more players tie for a position,other than first, points will be shared. For example, two players tieing for 2nd will share 2nd and 3rd place points.
5) If an event has a cut in the field to a number of players less than the number of places on the point grid, points will only be awarded to players in the final standings (Ie; Cut to low 40 & ties - then only those players earn points).
6) Sanctioned events and their relative weighting will be reviewed annually based on the number of participants and strength/depth of field.
7) Qualifying points (eg. for USGA Events) will be awarded only to those players that earn a spot in the championship field through a regional qualifying event. Qualifying points will not be awarded to players who receive an exemption (of any kind) into a tournament.
8) The committee may add / delete events or edit the starting point value in the above tournament listing based on strength and depth of field that may come to their attention throughout the 2018 golf season.
9) For NCAA and International WAGR ranked events, the event starting value for OOM points will be dictated by event strength value (eg. A, B, C) that is assigned by the R&A the week following the completion of the event.
10) If you notice any duplicate profiles, corrections or ommissions that need to be made to your OOM point total, please contact Golf Canada at 1.800.263.0009 x204 or [email protected]. Please note that the OOM ranking will be considered final two weeks after the August 31st, 2018 deadline for counting events. Any corrections (regardless of fault) will not be made after September 15th, 2018.
