ABOUT: The format of the 2023 RDGA Match Play and RDGA Senior Match Play Championships features 32-player brackets in each division. Registration for this Championship opens on February 1st for the Top 32 players based on points from the 2022 season. Those players have an exclusive opportunity to register until April 29 at midnight. After that, registration also becomes open to the next players ranked down the 2022 points list and then active RDGA members with a GHIN® Handicap Index® of 9.9 or less, beginning on April 30 at 9:00 am. (Exempt players may still sign up until the official close of registration on May 19.)
Once registration has closed, brackets will be seeded based on the Top 32 from the 2022 Men's and Senior points lists first, then by lowest handicap index for those registered players who were unranked. Click on the Match Play Exemptions lists under the Tournament Information tab, above, to see if you are eligible to register on February 1.
