Most Improved Player

Performance Measured

Complementing the season-long Order of Merit competition is a season-long Most Improved Player Award. The three players with the most improved Handicap Factor, as calculated by the formula below, will be invited for an end of season round of golf. The player with the most improved Handicap Factor will receive The Most Improved Player Award. A player’s season will start from their first Tour event and end at their last Tour event. Players must play at least 5 events to qualify.

The formula for calculating the most improved player has been established by the RCGA as equitable in gauging the improvement of players encompassing the entire spectrum of handicaps and is calculated as follows:
Improvement Factor (I/F) = Start of Season Handicap Factor + 12 divided by End of Season Handicap Factor + 12
