Qualifiers for the 2019 EGF Order of Merit Championship will consist of the top 30 finishers from both the Ladies (Gross) Division and Men’s Division from the 2018 – 2019 EGF Order of Merit season.
The seven-month long Order of Merit season will take place at 14 different golf clubs, in the Men’s Division, and 9 golf clubs in the Ladies Division. The Order of Merit will still have a Junior Division but will not hold junior WAGR points at the EGF Order of Merit Championship.
Each Order of Merit season event, across the three divisions (Men’s, Ladies’ and Juniors’) will be played under the stroke-play format for at least 18-holes, with men’s events lasting 36-holes. In the Ladies’ and Junior Divisions, there will be a Gross and Net Score winner for the overall season finishers.
“With the number of talented amateur golfers that currently reside in the UAE we are happy to provide this opportunity to our members. There is no doubt that this WAGR event will in encourage and keep developing the Order of Merit season but also golf as a whole in the UAE,” Mr. Zarouni added.
The Men’s Division starts the 2018 – 2019 season at The Montgomerie Golf Club on October 19th – 20th, 2018. The Ladies will open the season at the Al Ain Equestrian Shooting & Golf Club on November 10th, 2018. The Junior Division will kick off the season in Abu Dhabi at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club on October 27th, 2018. To see the full 2018 – 2019 EGF Order of Merit schedule go to www.egfgolf.com.
