The IAAF Golden League Jackpot has been increased from 50 kg of gold (approximately $500,000) to $1 million in 2003. The 2003 Jackpot will be shared between those athletes who win their individual GL events at every Golden League meeting. To claim the Jackpot, athletes must also take part in the World Athletics Final in Monaco on 13/14 September.

There will be 12 Golden League events in 2003, 6 each for men and women:

Men: 100m, 800m, 3000/5000m, 110 Hurdles, Pole Vault, Javelin Throw

Please note that the IAAF Grand Prix points scoring system has been discontinued. In 2003 entry to the IAAF World Athletics Final in Monaco will be based on an athlete's standings in the IAAF World Rankings. Ranking points are earned in all major athletics competitions, including championships, during the relevant season.
