What Does the PGT Leaderboard Winner Get?

At the end of the 2022 PGT season, the top 21 players as ranked by the PGT leaderboard will square off in an invite-only freeroll to crown the 2022 PGT champion. The 2022 PGT Championship will award a winner-take-all $500,000 top prize. Each player's starting stack in the PGT Championship will be based on the number of points earned by a player during the regular season.

What’s Next for the PGT?

The next five qualifying PGT events are spread across Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood and Tampa, Florida. There are three qualifying tournaments as part of the upcoming Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open in August, and then two as part of the WPT series in Tampa.

In September, the final four Stairway To Millions tournaments all qualify for the PGT, leading into the 2022 Poker Masters.
