Starting in 2016, each event is worth a minimum of nine points, up from six points previously.[1] The season consists of 12 events, three of which were co-sanctioned by the OneAsia Tour or the Asian Tour. All the tournament had prize funds of at least 300 million won (approximately US$290,000). Five had prize funds of 1 billion won ($960,000) or more.
