About the BGA Tour
The BGA Tour is a season long league at BetterGolf that lets you play the exact same courses and tournament setups as the pros—then go home and watch it unfold on TV with a whole new level of insight. You’ve seen the shots, felt the pressure, and now every swing means more because you’ve been there.
Starting at Masters Week, players compete in as many weekly events as they like to earn tour points, and compete for big season end prizes.
This is more than a one-off tournament. It is a league built for golfers who want competition, consistency, and the excitement of a season long race for the Cup.
1. Get Your Tour Card
Tour Card Pricing:
Public Players: $75 season entry
BetterGolf Members: Included with membership
Best value: If you plan to compete, a BetterGolf membership can reduce or eliminate your tour entry fee while giving you more access to simulator time all season long.
2. Play Tour Events.
The BGA Tour follows the event schedule of the real PGA. As a BGA Tour player, you are invited to compete in as many (or as few) weekly tournaments as you like. Each time a player competes in an event, points are awarded based on tournament leaderboard. Points are accumulated throughout the season and applied to the tour championship standings.

3. Divisions
To keep the competition fair for all skill levels, players will be divided into 1 of 3 appropriate divisions. A player's division is calculated using their end-season handicap rating, which is tracked throughout the season based on weekly tournament results. Based on end-season handicaps, players will be placed into their division using the following formula:
-
Players in the top 33% - Pro Division
-
Players in the middle 33% - Player Division
-
Players in the bottom 33% - Amateur Division
