The Men’s Elite Amateur Golf Series is here.
The series, which is entering its fourth year, was created to align the top men’s amateur championships in a collective competition for the Elite Amateur Cup. The women’s version, the Women’s Elite Amateur Golf Series, started this summer.
The series is a summer-long points race in five championship events around the country. The point system is a cumulative total of World Amateur Golf Ranking points earned by competing in the aligned events. The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the series, which culminates at the Ladies National Amateur in Arkansas.
There are seven events in the Men’s Elite Amateur Golf Series: Sunnehanna Amateur, Northeast Amateur, North & South Amateur, Trans-Mississippi Amateur, Southern Amateur, Pacific Coast Amateur and Western Amateur.
The winner will earn exemptions into USGA Championships and some professional events. A player must compete in a minimum of three events to be eligible.
Here’s a look at the events of the Men’s Elite Amateur Golf Series, which will be updated with results once tournaments conclude.
