Season ending event crowns worthy champions

The 2026 Tour Championship event was held at the ever-popular Clearwater Golf Club yesterday in what is the finale event of the annual Order of Merit (OOM) Season.

As well as providing a final opportunity for players in the various OOM divisions to compete for final points, the day also provides an opportunity to host various Canterbury Golf volunteers, supporters, and sponsors who are mixed into the field as part of an Am-Am Net Best Ball stableford format. This continues to act as a great way to thank these valuable people for their contributions to the game. The results of the Tour Championship Am-Am competition were as follows:
