Points and Rankings

PKBGT Performance Index

The official player ranking system of the PKB Girls’ Golf Tour. Player’s standing on the Performance Index will be based on a combination of:

Average Scoring Differential (your score in a round minus the course rating) in all events played during the last 12 month period.
PKB Points Earned through participation in all events on the tour in the last 12 months. Total points awarded to each player per event will be based on division played, number of participants and multiplier of tournament used for Order of Merit calculations.
Players will earn a “Win Bonus” for winning a PKBGT event in any division series. Bell Division wins are ranked the highest, followed by Prep Series, then Futures, with PKBGT Championship events earning additional bonuses.

Players must complete 4 sanctioned rounds on the PKBGT to be eligible for a Index ranking. All other players will be given a Provisional ranking until they reach the minimum 4 rounds played. Only official Index rankings will be used in calculations for awards, rankings, etc..

2019 Order of Merit Explanation

Player’s standing on the Order of Merit will be based on the TOP 5 points earning events for each player during the series. Points in an event will be awarded based on the number of players in the field, with the 1st place finisher getting a 5 point bonus. Events will be weighted based on historical strength and size of field in addition to classification of tournament.
