In order to be eligible to receive Women’s Senior Player of the Year points, players must compete in at least one Mass Golf sponsored event included in the point system (including qualifiers). Any player who is exempt into a USGA Championship Proper will earn the points associated with qualifying for each respective USGA Championship Proper. Player of the Year points for Four-Ball events are awarded to teams consisting of two (2) senior players (points will not be awarded to senior individuals). The final decision of the Women’s Senior Player of the Year rests with the Mass Golf Board of Directors.
