Genesis Points table

The Order of Merit used a points system, called Genesis Points. Points were awarded based on the player's position in each event. 1,000 points were awarded to the winner, 600 points for second place, down to 5 points for those finishing outside the top 60. All 17 events had the same points. Lee Hyung-joon did not win any tournaments but made the cut in all 17 events and was second twice and third three times.

Rank Player Points Events
1 South Korea Lee Hyung-joon 4662 17
2 South Korea Park Hyo-won 4524 17
3 South Korea Park Sang-hyun 4412 8
4 South Korea Maeng Dong-seop 3893 17
