With only two more stops on the IPGAA Traveler's Tour, this is where we stand! Remember, Only top 3 tournament finishes count for each player... so while the top scores can still improve, if you haven't logged you full 3 rounds, you can still catapult yourself up the standings with another round!

The next two weekends will host the 2026 4th Annual Rines Creek Park Golf Open Championship followed by the 2026 Hocking Hills Wormburner Open!

Remember, only the top 3 finishes for each player count, so if you haven't played in 3 tournaments playing in one of these could catapult you up the standings!

We hope to see you out there climbing the ranks! What a fun season it has been so far!
