Pfing Ex Cup

Like another similar sounding points race run by the PGA, the Pfing Ex Cup is a year long race toward a total points championship for the Edgewater Golf Group.

Our season begins after the Sea Island tournament weekend, which is usually the first weekend in May, held at St. Simons Island.  The Sea Island Tournament is a two day affair that ends in a winner receiving the Mike Smith Trophy.

The Race to the Pfing Ex Cup, named after the host of the Sea Island weekend Henry Pfingstag, is a year long accumulation of points based on the group's bi-weekly tournaments and special events. The picture above shows Henry Pfingstag (on the right) awarding the silver cup to the 2024 champion Jack Bridgeman.

Players earn points in several categories and points are added every time a player earns a win in a category.  This part of the race runs from May to approximately the beginning of April of the next year, which is ten rounds before the next Sea Island Tournament.  

At that point, the Pfing Ex Cup field is cut to the top ten point earners for the year who then compete for ten rounds, mano a mano, with the top points' earner for those ten rounds being the winner of the coveted trophy and cup.  

Below are the standings through the eighth round in 2025.

Scoring per round: most points above handicap (low man) is a first place worth 4 points, Second=3 points, Third=2 points, Fourth=1 point. Ties split the points.
