Seven events. Thirty-one players. One Series champion. Pull up a chair, folks, because the 2026 season is officially in the books and what a ride it was.
And BJ Kolonia takes the whole thing! He sat third on the podium back in Series #3, climbed to second in #9, then came into the finale and won it outright at +3.65. A series score of +10.27 is the best in the field by nearly three and a half points. Add the Combo flight title and BJ walks off with $117 from the Season Pot alone. Just a masterclass in finishing.
Overall runners-up. Rich Potts finishes second at +6.78 for $46, and Jeff Rapp takes third at +6.56 for $30. Rapp did it the hard way: he teed it up in all seven events and finished above quota in four of them. That’s what we call showing up.
| Flight | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green 9 qualified | Evan Lindermuth $40 | Jordan Knappenberger $24 | Bill Steirer $16 |
| Combo 8 qualified | BJ Kolonia $40 | Rich Potts $24 | Jeff Rapp $16 |
| Gold 2 qualified | Rich Penberg $40 | Scott Skeens $24 | — |
Green flight. Evan Lindermuth takes it at +4.71, and he saved his loudest work for Series #9, where he posted +9.28 over quota, the best single round of the entire season. Jordan Knappenberger and Bill Steirer complete the Green podium.
Gold flight. The new Gold tees brought only two qualifiers this year, so the unclaimed third-place money was spread across every other prize. Rich Penberg takes the title, and, folks, he played all seven events. Scott Skeens is right behind for second.
Chooch opened the season with a photo finish. A tenth of a point separated him from Mohamed Walli, and he added a skin and a closest-to-the-pin on the 15th for a $105 day.
The biggest field of the year, and Adam Costa ran away from it by nearly two points. Harry Pry grabbed a pair of skins to make some noise of his own.
Wilbur Hlay wins it and cashes a skin on top, for a $110 day, the biggest single-event payday of the season.
Rich Potts goes eight over quota and picks up a skin and a closest-to-the-pin on the 8th. Scott Justus quietly collected two skins in the same round.
Dave Sherwin lights it up at +8.39, the second-best round of the season, and takes the closest-to-the-pin on 8 as a bonus.
The round of the year. Evan’s +9.28 is the highest of the season, and he cashed a skin on top of it. Meanwhile Jordan Knappenberger picked up two skins and a $108 day.
Thirteen players and one last shot at the title. BJ Kolonia closes the season with the win and locks up the Overall title. Jordan Knappenberger took three of the six skins for a $93 day, and Evan Lindermuth won both the 8th and the 18th closest-to-the-pin.

Jordan Knappenberger is your money-list leader. Six skins, more than anyone in the Series, and a Green-flight silver on top, all in just five events. And hold the phone on Scott Justus: four events played, $260 collected, third on the money list, and not a single podium finish. That is pure skins work. Five of them, in fact. That’s efficiency, folks.
Different winners in seven events. Chooch, Adam, Wilbur, Rich Potts, Dave, Evan and BJ each took one. Parity at its finest.
Best round of the season: Evan Lindermuth, Series #9. Next best: Dave Sherwin (+8.39), then Rich Potts (+8.00).
Closest-to-the-pin prizes awarded, and every one of them was claimed. Evan Lindermuth and Rich Potts lead the way with four apiece, and Brian Hager, Dave Sherwin and Mohamed Walli each collected three.
Two CTPs in one round, twice. Rich Potts won both the 8th and the 18th in Series #9, and Evan Lindermuth did it in the finale.
Skins for Jordan Knappenberger, the Series high, three of them in the finale. Scott Justus had five, Bill Steirer four.
Podium finishes for BJ Kolonia, the most of anyone: third in #3, second in #9, first in #10. He peaked at exactly the right time.
Players who teed it up in all seven events: Rich Penberg, Jeff Rapp, Chooch Wernett and Brian Hager. The iron men of 2026.
Red numbers into black: Tom Arnold went from −6.04 in his first scored event to +4.90 in his last, a podium finish at #9. Tom Stitt went from −7.71 to +1.69, with two podiums along the way (2nd in #4, 3rd in #10).
The biggest field of the year: Series #3 in late May. The finale was the smallest at 13, but, as we saw, quality over quantity.
Total prize money for the season: $2,620 in event pools (131 rounds at $20 a head) plus the $380 Season Pot.
None of this happens without you. Every shot, every skin, every argument over a ruling and every laugh at the turn is the Series. Thirty-one of you showed up in 2026, and every one of you made it better.
Congratulations to BJ, Evan, Rich Penberg, and every winner above. See you next season!
