2022 A-Tier Request Form Now Available

2022 A-Tier Requests

With the release of the 2022 Majors & Elite schedule, the PDGA is now accepting requests for 2022 North American A-Tiers via the A-Tier Request Form online. The submission deadline is Monday, October 18, 2021.

When planning for A-Tier dates, please remember not to use dates that would be in mileage conflict with an event already on the provided Major & Elite Schedule.  An A-Tier may not be within 1,250 miles of a Major, or 750 miles of an Elite Series event.

The current goal is to finalize and release the 2022 A-Tier schedule on or about November 1st.

Please note that all parts of the request form must be completed, and that at least four possible dates must be provided to create a schedule that works for everyone without conflicts. Due to the growth of the tour—which will boast 7,000 events in 2022—a single date or historical date is unlikely to be granted. Flexibility for players and fellow tournament directors is key. If at least four possible dates are not provided, A-Tier status is not likely to be awarded.

It is important to note that with the huge growth in the number of events and the immense pressure to provide playing opportunities for all players, the number of A-Tiers in North America will be strictly limited to provide more room for B and C-Tier events on the schedule, so not all events requesting A-Tier status will receive it—even those that have previously run as A-Tiers. Only select high-profile, successful multi-year B-Tiers will even be considered for upgrading to A-Tier status in 2022. 

Note that A-Tiers continue to have a minimum cash requirements:

• Pro Added Cash requirement of $3,000 above 100% of Net Entry Fees
• Amateur payout requirement of 110% of Net Entry Fees with a minimum $25 Player Pack.
