Prizes and Prize Eligibility

Prizes in NIMAGA tournaments consist of prize certificates which are redeemable at many pro shops and sporting goods stores throughout the Chicago area (Who Accepts NIMAGA Prize Certificates).  The prize certificates are distributed at or are mailed out after each tournament.  Generally, about the top 30% of the entrants in each division receive prizes.  The number and amount of prize certificates awarded in each tournament is determined by the number of entries in the tournament.  In addition to a prize certificate the winners of each division receive a plaque commemorating his achievement.

New in 2024, the NIMAGA Board has raised the minimum score requirements for full prize eligibility. This was done to get a better representation of players’ scores which would result in more accurate handicaps for our tournaments.

The minimum number of scores must be reported prior to the CDGA revision date as outlined on each Golf Genius tournament portal.

The NIMAGA Board strongly recommends that each NIMAGA member report all of their adjusted scores (excluding NIMAGA tournament and Match Play scores) on the same day that the round is played, as handicaps are now calculated by the CDGA on a daily basis.

Any member who does not meet the foregoing requirements for a tournament will be eligible in that tournament to win no more than a $20 minimum prize certificate.

A new member is eligible to win no more than a $20 prize certificate in any NIMAGA tournament until the handicap being used has a NIMAGA tournament score reported to the CDGA. Please note that NIMAGA reports all tournament and Match Play scores to the CDGA.
