2025 Riggs Open
Stableford Scoring
You score points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament is the winner.
For the 2025 Riggs Open, you will get points based on the following:
5 points = Net Double Eagle
4 = Net Eagle
3 = Net Birdie
2 = Net Par
1 = Net Bogey
0 points = Net Double Bogey (or, worse)
To play for the trophy and the prize money, you will need a USGA Handicap. To clarify, you must have a current USGA Handicap Index to participate in the “stroke play” competition. Your USGA Handicap Index will be entered into the USGA course handicap calculator - to determine your particular course handicap that year (at that year’s course). If you choose not to obtain a USGA Handicap Index, you may play in the tournament as a “non-competing marker”, which means you can play (but, you will not be eligible to win the trophy or the prize money). See below for more info on obtaining a USGA Handicap. With the new world handicap system, to get your USGA Handicap Index going, you only need to post a minimum of 3 scores!
