PLAYERS CUP 2023 UPDATES
We’ve only had 4 events and a lot of movement!

After Aviara, in which both Net and Gross Players Cup qualified, changes are a ‘brewin.'

Gross PC
Nan Circo moves up to 1st place in the Gross division with a 2nd place tie finish with Nancy Mason. Nan sits at a total of 49.67 points. But Deb Finlon, with a win at Aviara, vaults from 5th place to 2nd place and is breathing down Nan’s neck at 49 points. Nancy Mason with a 2nd place tie moves from 7th to 5th place. But hey players, the season is still SO young!

Net PC
With a three-way tie for 1st place between Nancy Mason, Melissa Bright and Meinir Heilbrun, all three make some moves after Aviara. Nancy is now sitting at the top with a total of 39.83 points (watch out!!!), while Melissa and Meinir are both tied at 7th place at 18.33 points. Neither had even been in the Top 12 prior to this event. That’s how fast it can happen! 

If you’d like to see the full standings for either the Gross or Net PC you can always go to the Golf Genius app in your phone and type in the GGID division:
