TPC rankings were created to determine the top amateur players in the area through a Point System.  Players earn points for participating in local amateur Invitational tournaments and state events.  The players with the most points will be selected to compete against the PGA team in the Chattanooga Cup Matches at the end of the year.  

Amateur 

• Based on TPC ranking from participation in local and State Amateur events durning the 2025 season. 

Professionals

The qualification process for the professionals will be determined using the 2025 Chattanooga Chapter Player of the Year points standings and players will be selected as follows. All selections will be using the points standings as of October 1st, 2025.

• Regular Division (10 Players): The top 6 non-senior players in the Player of the Year race will automatically qualify for the team as regular professionals. After the top 6 players are determined, the top 2 players in the Assistant/Associate division not otherwise qualified will automatically qualify for the team. The final 2 players for the regular division will be captain picks made by the captain after all automatically qualifying players have been determined.
