Player of the Year Standings

PLAYER OF THE YEAR SERIES RECAP

The 2025 Cleveland Metroparks Tournament Series has concluded with record attendance. We would like to thank all 780 participants in our 15 Player of the Year Series events, which took place at six different CMP Golf Courses and included formats such as two player better ball, match play bracket, and our individual stroke play Course Championships. All of these events were an exciting lead up to the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship, hosted at Manakiki and Sleepy Hollow. 

Many of the top amateur golfers in Northeast Ohio participated in multiple events with many familiar names raising trophies at the end of each weekend. A large part of the player of the year series is the season long points race. This year the top four were only separated by 24 points which is the difference of only a few places on a singular event. 

Rich Deichert was the largest point grabber, accumulating 158 points thanks to a 2nd place finish at the GCAC and top finishes at the Big Met Course Championship and the Seneca Course Championship. Ryan Stefanski (148 points) was off to a hot start earning significant points in the early events this season while Lucas Liberatore (140 points) had a strong showing at the Match Play event along with a few Course Championships. These top three 2025 point earners will be automatically exempt in the 2026 GCAC. Chris Okeson (134 points) and Jake Morgan (114 points) rounded out the top 5, while the top 10 (including ties) will all earn a CMP Gift Card for their efforts. A separate notice will be sent out to these individuals instructing them how to collect their gift card. Below is the full listing of all CMP Player of the Year Points. 

Thank you once again for your participation and allowing the Cleveland Metroparks to continue to host tremendous events. Have a great off season and we look forward to many great tournaments in 2026.
