That means that anyone who cashed received a nice little boost to their 2025 campaign and are that much closer to qualifying for the season-ending PGT $1,000,000 Championship. As expected, the five events winners are at or near the top of the leaderboard, but sandwiched among them is Joao Simao in third place. Simao finished the PGT Kickoff series with two cashes, including a runner-up result to Kristen Foxen in the final event. 2025 PGT Leaderboard Top 10 1st: Kristen Foxen - 525 points 2nd: Patrick Leonard - 342 points 3rd: Joao Simao - 324 points 4th: Spencer Champlin - 315 points 5th: Masato Yokosawa - 286 points 6th: Andrew Lichtenberger - 267 points 7th: Nick Seward - 256 points 8th: Neil Warren - 253 points 9th: Stephen Song - 252 points 10th: Michael Vanier - 251 points
