Winners will be determined using the USGA recommended method for determining the Most Improved Player. The method is as follows:

Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the start date. The number 12 is used to provide a consistent value for all players being evaluated. This value is A. Add 12 to the player’s Handicap Index at the end date. This value is B.

Divide value A by value B, calculating to three decimal places. This is the improvement factor. The player with the highest improvement factor is the most improved player.

Example for Most Improved Player:

Breaking Ties: Ties will be broken by extending beyond three decimal places until a winner is determined.
