The Thomson Tour Championship and Order-of Merit

From each prize fund approx 10% will be deducted and 5% will be added to the Championship Prize and 5% will go to an Order-of Merit prize fund. Also half of any fines incurred by the players will be added to fund.

The top 5 players in the final Order-of-merit will receive a % of the fund as follows:

1st-50%, 2nd-30%, 3rd-20%
The Championship Prize Fund could then be larger than normal events

To play in the Championship you will have to have played in 5 events leading up to it.

AlsoThe Tour I would like to see trainees playing again so if the Head Professionals can encourage their trainees to join, the Thomson Tour is sanctioned by the PGA they can use the events to fill in their playing record cards.

Please read rules and regulation carefully especially concerning withdrawals.

We look forward to seeing you in October.
