ABOUT: The first RDGA major championship event of the season, the format of the 2024 RDGA Match Play Championship features a 32-player bracket, competing in five rounds over three days. The 2024 RDGA Senior and RDGA Super Senior Match Play Championships feature 16-player brackets, with each division competing in four rounds over two days. Registration for this Championship opens on March 1st for the Top 32-ranked Men's bracket players and the Top 16-ranked players in the Senior and Super Senior brackets - all based on points from the 2023 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 2023 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 17.)

Once registration has closed, all three brackets will be seeded based on the rankings from the 2023 Men's, Senior and Super Senior Player-of-the-Year 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 March 1.
