GSGA Challenge Matches
Each year, the GSGA is excited to have the top amateur players in the Peach State represent Georgia and the GSGA in matches against other states and the Georgia PGA section.
Players are selected and invited by representatives of the GSGA Championship Committee and Rules & Competitions Department, along with input from the team captain or another chosen representative. Selection criteria includes, but is not based solely on the two-year points standings and a number of at-large selections. Player selections are primarily determined by a point system based on performance over a two-year cycle in GSGA, USGA and select auxiliary events that make up the GSGA Player of the Year Points System. For the challenge match points standings, points from year one of the cycle are valued at 100% and points earned in the current year cycle of the challenge event are valued at 150%. The selection committee reserves the right to invite those players that will best represent Georgia and/or the GSGA at the respective matches.
