The SNGA has developed 19 different points races for Players of the Year and Qualifying Events. Each event has a designated amount of points. Those players that accumulate the most points will be eligible to participate in Nevada State Events and will become the Player of the Year in their respective division. In order to be eligible for any of the SNGA, State, or National Points Races, players must purchase a Tour Membership before the event in which they want points. Please read below for more information about the SNGA Points Races.
SNGA Points Races
SNGA Player of the Year
The SNGA Players of the Year Points Race is conducted from January 1st to December 31st of every year. Divisional Player of the Year Races include the Scratch, Net, Senior Scratch, Senior Net, Super Senior Scratch, and Super Senior Net Divisions.
Nevada State Qualifying Events
The Nevada State Golf Association in conjunction with the Nevada regional Associations (SNGA and NNGA) conduct Statewide events every year. Each regional Association is responsible to hold qualifying events and maintain a qualifying points race for these events. The current statewide events that require a qualifying points race include the Nevada State Amateur, Nevada State Match Play Championship, Nevada State Net Amateur Championship, Cobb-Whalen Cup Matches, and Oliver Cup Matches.
The state qualifying points races run from the date of the prior years tournament up to 30 days prior to the upcoming event. The Cobb-Whalen and Oliver Cups are held biennually and the final year of events leading up to the Cup Matches are worth double points.
National Qualifying Events
The SNGA holds points races for National Qualifying Events. Those events include the Pacific Coast Amateur and the USGA Men's State Team Championship. These events are national recognized events for the top players from each Association across the United States and neighboring countries.
The first Pacific Coast Amateur Championship was held on the links of San Francisco Golf Club at The Presidio, April 24-27, 1901 making this tournament one of the oldest amateur golf championships in American history.
The USGA State Men's Team grew out of the Association’s centennial anniversary in 1995. USGA officials believed that a new championship, one in which each state could be represented by amateur, non-college golfers, was an appropriate way to cap the USGA’s year-long birthday celebration. The competition proved to be such a success that the Association decided to continue conducting the championship biennially.
National Qualifying Points Races run from the date of the prior tournament until 45 days prior to the upcoming event. The USGA State Team Championship is held biennually and the final year of events leading up to the Team Championship are worth double points.
Points Distribution Process
First through 15th place will receive a percentage of the points assigned for each tournament as outlined on the accompanying chart. Points will be divided evenly when there are ties. The only exception will be ties for first place, where the winner of the playoff will receive first place points.
