Majors
Since 2009, 4 major event titles have been vied for by RAGA members: Masters, U.S. Open, British, and Va. Championship. These majors are governed by rules more appropriate for the enhanced notoriety and bragging that befits a major champion. Each major is accompanied with recognition on the season-end virtual plaque and a physical trophy that can be used to taunt fellow RAGA members.
RVA Cup
The RVA Cup is a season long competition that began in 2015 which awards points for RAGA tour sanctioned events. The points are award based on final possition, side game results, and birdies made. Top 7 points rounds by each golfer are considered the season-end results. This is still currently in the test phase.
