New in 2023 to the FLX Tour was the Young Man of the Year, a season-long ranking of Tour Pros based on their gross and net results at majors and designated events.

“Uncle Chris’ Miers was honored as the first-ever Young Man of the Year in 2023, and since then, youngsters have been looking to add their name into the Hall of Champions.

After much deliberation, the Tour made the official change in 2024 to make Young Man of the Year points based strictly on net scores, and not net combined with gross. Danny Driffill, based on his top finish of strictly net results in 2023, is unofficially called “The People’s Champ” for the inaugural YMOTY, though historians dispute this claim.

Another change in 2024: Only the top three results from each pro’s results will be entered for scoring. If a Tour pro plays in all four majors, the cumulative total from their best three efforts will determine their YMOTY ranking. If a tour pro isn’t able to participate in all four majors, and can only make three, they will still be on even footing for YMOTY.

Reach out to leadership with any questions about this, but it’s pretty simple.
