📐 How the format works
Qualification is based on the Players Championship Order of Merit, which locks the field to the most consistent performers of the season.
Matches are played in legs, which keeps the tempo high and turns mid-match bursts into deciding swings.
The finals week is a straight knockout, so any slow start can be decisive.
