The prestigious Rolex Player of the Year award was introduced to the LPGA in 1966. LPGA Tour players are awarded points at each official LPGA tournament based on top-10 finishes with the top points earner taking home the prestigious honor each year. The point values are as follows:
| Place | Points | Place | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 30 | 6. | 5 |
| 2. | 12 | 7. | 4 |
| 3. | 9 | 8. | 3 |
| 4. | 7 | 9. | 2 |
| 5. | 6 | 10. | 1 |
| Points are doubled at each of the LPGA's five major championships - ANA Inspiration, KPMG Women's PGA Championship, U.S. Women's Open, AIG Women's Open, and the Evian Championship. | |||
