Notes:
· “(+1)” in the table denotes the 1994 Handicap and 1986 Maiden which are classed as major tournaments.
· Players who (1) (a) fail to complete 50% of their games and (b) don’t appear in the draw for all rounds (in a Swiss); or (2) who are not included in the final table (in a Round-Robin) are not considered eligible for the wooden spoon award.
