What's new in 2026 on the NCG Top 100s Tour?
The end of 2025 was a busy period for the NCG Top 100s Tour as we introduced a number of changes to our events ahead of what will be the biggest Tour season ever.
Changes included a brand-new website, more prizes and partners, new venues, an update to our Order of Merit and a new handicap policy.
Read all about the changes ahead of the new season below.
New Scratch Prizes & Category
For 2026, we’re introducing a brand-new scratch category designed to reward the lowest gross score at every venue.
This is a direct response to what you told us in our end-of-season survey — and yes, we listened. At each event, the scratch winner will take home a pair of Under Armour golf shoes (to be launched soon), with a Scratch Grand Final set to take place at the stunning Stoke Park.
New & Returning Venues
The 2026 calendar sees an exciting mix of iconic returns and first-time additions.
New venues joining the tour include:
- Cavendish
- Dunaverty
- Furness Old Links
- Gleneagles (PGA Centenary)
- Machrihanish
- Machrihanish Dunes
- Old Petty at Cabot Highlands
- Trevose
- Trump International (New Course)
- Wallasey
- West Sussex
We’re also thrilled to welcome back several favourites from previous seasons that didn't feature in 2025:
- Fleetwood
- Frilford Heath (Red)
- Lundin Links
- Royal Lytham & St Annes
- Royal St George's
- Seascale
- Sutton Coldfield
New Partners for 2026
We’re pleased to partner with PRG and Sounder Golf, who will be providing exclusive member goodies throughout the season.
As mentioned above, Under Armour also joins the tour as a key partner, supplying the scratch prizes at every event — with an exciting announcement still to come.
Prostate Cancer will also be joining as the Tour's chosen charity in 2026, further details regarding the partnership will be announced in due course.
Updated Order of Merit & Points System
For 2026, each player's best eight scores across the season will count towards the Order of Merit.
We also have a new points system to help make everything closer come the end of the year. In 2026, the winner of each event will receive 100 points, while every player will earn at least 1 point for playing!
The top 40 players will qualify for the Grand Final, with the venue and grand prize to be revealed very soon. 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for the NCG Top 100s Tour — and we’re only just getting started.
Handicap Policy
We have updated our handicap policy and terms for being eligible for winning our prizes, ensuring that we protect the integrity of our competitions.
This will be shared with competitors in the coming weeks.
New Website
We have been pleased to showcase our brand-new NCG Top 100s Tour website.
There was an overwhelming majority that voted that they would like to see tee time booking added for the 2026 season in our end of season survey, and once again we listened to our competitors.
Our new website offers the opportunity to book your specific tee time at individual events, and the ability to book more than one event in one transaction, a change that we hope has been popular amongst Tour competitors.
We can't wait to get 2026 underway at Royal St. George's on the 10th March and we look forward to welcoming you to a number of our events in 2026.
