On Feb. 22, 2021, the PDGA announced its 2020 Player of the Year winners, where four very deserving candidates received the men’s and women’s Player of the Year (POY) and Rookie of the Year (ROY) honors. These players fought hard to earn enough points to top their respective categories based on updated criteria announced by the PDGA in November 2020, where DGPT points were elevated from A-Tier point status to match that of the National Tour.
