In addition to the total prize money of R2,160,000 on offer for the six-event series (R360,000 per tournament), the top 25 professionals will be awarded points in each event, starting at 60 points to the winner down to 25th place, which qualifies for two points.

Professionals must compete in at least five of the seven events to be eligible for cash incentive prize of R100 000 and, at the conclusion of the series and final event in November, the leading points scorer will be declared the winner.
