Order of Merit

The race to glory

A player's ranking on the Order of Merit reflects their performance over the course of the NEXT Golf Tour season. The top finisher through three events will be crowned the NEXT Golf Tour champion.

How it works

This season-long ranking is based on prize money earned during stroke play competition, with 1 USD = 1 point. Side game and social media winnings do not apply to the Order of Merit.

Secure your spot

The top 100 players on the Order of Merit through Round 2 (plus ties and special exemptions as needed to ensure a minimum of 10 women in the field) will advance to the Season Finale to compete for a $250,000 purse.

Play your way to other tours

The winner of the Order of Merit also earns the opportunity to test their skills in a real-world environment by receiving invitations to tour events during the upcoming season.
