We are just far enough into the 2023 season for the elite pros in both divisions to have Elite Series (ES) averages. Part 1 (of 3 parts) is intended for the first 5 ES events in 2023, through Jonesboro Open.
The lists below include their 2022 ES averages, as a comparison and if they are up (green text), down (red) or about the same (orange) as last season. “Next Up” here is only referencing the next ES event the player is registered for in 2023.
Color Guide standards apply here for the most part. This is linked at bottom of each list. “Rating” colors are taken from what latest ranking list has for each player. That is always intended to highlight players with great value, or poor value, as the case may be. The “Order” color here applies to where they currently sit in terms of tiers for 2023 ES average.
As of completion of Jonesboro, there’s now a minimum of 3 Elite events played in 2023 to qualify for this list. .
