It also puts effort into developing the next generation, with the player development program \"APP Next\" (for those 23 and under) and the \"APP Selkirk Collegiate Series\" (intercollegiate competition).<\/p>\n<h2>Tournament features<\/h2>\n<p>In 2026, at least four pro invitational events (the APP Pro Invitational) are also planned, where the world's top players compete for large prize money.
