THE WGA TOUR is a season of weekly tournaments of stroke play
and match play. You'll earn points for
finishing in the top 20 of a tournament, and the points you earn place you in a
race for the WGA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP at the end of the season where the top 20
players will play for the WGA CUP title.
Tournaments are made up of 3 types:
- WGA Tournament - 2 rounds of 9-hole Stroke Play
- World Golf Championship Tournament - 3 rounds of 9-hole Stroke Play with cut made after 2 rounds
- Major Tournament - 3 rounds of 9-hole Stroke Play with cut made after 2 rounds
The WGA Points system are different for each type of tournament with
the Major tournaments having most points allocated.
There are 2 PLAYOFF tournaments at the end of season where
the points awarded are 3 times the regular tournaments.
The WGA Points are reset after the PLAYOFF tournaments for
the top 20 players who will play in the WGA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP for the WGA CUP
title.

THE CUT LINE - is set at Even Par, and there's a total of 36 players who is at and above this cut line. Since the leader score is at -12 and the 20th place is at -4, I didn't see any point of stretching the cut line any further as the players outside the cut line would not have much of a chance to catch up.
Thank you everyone who participated in the first 2 rounds of this tournament, I wish you all better luck next week where it will be the first major tournament of the Tour.
PAIRING FOR ROUND 3 AS FOLOW -
** NOTES - All players should try to contact their partner immediately to arrange a time to play their round. It should be noted that you MUST play the final round ONLY with your designated partner, otherwise I will NOT accept your score. Unless all efforts have been made and by Sunday your partner have still not responded, it is ONLY THEN that you can try and play your round with someone else who will act as your marker.
COURSE - Bethpage Back 9 [White (Medium) Tees, High wind]
** Since this would be play in practice mode, you can not set the green speed so just make sure you set the correct tees and wind.
DEADLINE - Midnite (EST) Sunday 22nd November
DISCONNECTION DURING GAME - I understand that this have been a common problem for all the players so here are some guidelines how to deal with this situation:
- Scores on all the holes completed up to the point of disconnection should be recorded manually.
- Replay the round and play up to the point of disconnection, scores up to this point are to be discarded. From then on continue to record score until the round is completed.
- If disconnection takes place in the middle of playing a hole then that hole should be played again. The score should be recorded from that hole onward until the end of the round
- Save and post the scorecard after completing the round but in your post give abrief summary of your recorded score before the disconnection and after. This is important as the scorecard only reflected the last part of your replay round.
ALL PLAYERS PLEASE REMEMBER TO POST YOUR SCORECARD AND SUBMIT YOUR SCORE OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED !
The Final Round of the Accenture Championship has started. Good luck to everyone, play your best and try to make the top 20 to gain WGA POINTS !
