Road to England Selection Update With 3 Events to Go!

With just 3 more events left in the 2025 Road To Selection things are coming to a head! Let’s have a sneaky peak at the categories and see who is in, who still has work to do to guarantee their spot, and who is scrabbling to stay in play at the back of the pack…

Remember it’s just 4 players per team competing, but we will have a non travelling reserve too in case of injury.

The key part to this equation is that it’s your BEST 5 tournament scores that make the final selection process. That’s what these last events all come down to, the players that still have work to do all need to either get one or two more events in to maximise their scores, OR some need improve on previous events weaker finishing positions to better their current total!

It is really fantastic to see it all going down to the wire and running so close. A testament to the strength of the Series across all the cagetories over the year. 

Each of the last three events will have a definite impact on the above lists so keep an eye out on player's finishing positions and we will update things event by event.

Good luck everyone!
