The current standings for the 2009 PDGA Players & Rookies of the Year have been updated. Seven men and seven women have the best Average Ratings in their seven best events for Player of the Year (POY) for events thru the USDGC. Six men and six women have the best Average Ratings in their five best events toward Rookie of the Year (ROY) thru the USDGC. The top 7 (POY) and top six (ROY) players with the best Average Ratings in their best events by yearend will make the finals before the final calculations determine the POY and ROY award winners for 2009. These players are on top so far. You can click on the above pic to see it better. Full details for each candidate and the calculation process have been posted here.
The Women rookies with Average Ratings in red do not yet have the minimum five events needed by the end of the year to qualify as finalists. So they need to play well in qualifying events the rest of the year to keep up with Haley Konrad who is technically in the lead right now. All of the other players in the four tables already have the minimum number of events needed. They can still improve their Average Rating if late season events are better than ones already included.
Almost three months of events have not yet been reported. Positions can still change within the top candidates. Other players just out of the top six or seven can still get in with many events to go. However, only events that are B-tier or higher where at least 54 holes are played can count toward the standings.
In addition to their Average Rating shown here, the finalists' Average Rating at Worlds and Finish Percentage (100% is best) in their best events are part of the final awards calculation. For POY only, Head-to-Head peformance against the other finalists will be included.
