Tournament participants will be ranked according to the number of playing opportunities (tournament & qualifier) they have been accepted to with the AJGA this season. Those with the lowest opportunities will have a higher priority if spots remain in the National Qualifier. Ties at any step will be broken by Random Draw.

APPLICATION WINDOW: The application window will be open from Friday, May 6 at 3 p.m. ET – Monday, May 9 at Noon ET. The Qualifier field and alternate list will be posted Tuesday, May 10 at 5 pm ET.

Space permitting, non-members may apply one week following the National Qualifier release to AJGA members.
