Junior Girl Player of the Year

IWGA Junior Girl Player of the Year Points System

  • The award goes to the junior girl golfer (ages 16 - seniors in high school) who accumulates the most points based on the system outlined below.  The system is designed to give the golfer who competes well at the national and state levels the best chance at taking home the honor. 
  • The player must be an Iowa resident.
  • Positions will not be elevated in events that feature juniors from other areas outside of Iowa.  For example:  3rd place points will be awarded the 3rd place finisher even if the 1st and 2nd place finishers are not Iowa juniors.
  • Bonus points are awarded based on final finish.  For example:  A player who is a quarter-finalist in the US Amateur will receive 1600 points, not  200 + 400 + 800 + 1600.

Tiebreaker (in order):                                                                                             

                1.  Points earned in the Iowa Junior Girl's Championship.

                2.  Points earned in the Iowa Women's Amateur Championship.

                3.  Points earned in the IWGA Four-Ball Championship

                4.  Highest point total earned in a remaining event.

                5.  2nd highest point total earned in a remaining event.

                6.  3rd highest point total earned in a remained event.

  • It is very important for junior golfers who finish well in the outlined events to communicate those finishes to the IWGA office.  It is very hard for us to keep track of every tournament that is available to juniors. Points will accumulate through October 14th, 2010.

The IWGA Board (R&C Committee) reserves the right to award points for outstanding achievements outside the points system.
