2024 Australian Player of the Year (GPI)
Daniel Neilson & Jennifer Cassell take the honours of Australian #1 GPI Players
The GPI Player Of the Year (POY) Leaderboard is calculated from results from each calendar year. Standings are updated weekly with the top 1,000 contenders ranked according to results, with the Leaderboard utilising an augmented version of GPI’s existing ranking formula which disregards aging factors and includes 11 total results from qualifying tournament results in each given year (top 6 results from the first 6 months of the year and top 5 results from these 6 months of each year). Buy in restrictions, minimum player field restrictions are kept as-is, as. You may notice some events do not earn GPI points, mainly due to field sizes and restricted events eg. Ladies Events, Seniors Events, etc.

Congratulations Daniel Neilson on a amazing year, and to the Top 5!
