How Rankings Work
Ranked Golf World Rankings are based on your best submitted rounds, course difficulty, and round verification level.
Round Points
Each round receives a score based on your score differential.
Base Points = (50 - Score Differential) / 10
Verification Weighting
Rounds with proof or verification are weighted higher than unverified rounds.
- Unverified rounds: 70%
- Proof submitted rounds: 90%
- Peer verified rounds: 100%
- Event verified rounds: 115%
Leaderboard Ranking
Players must submit at least 3 rounds to appear on the leaderboard. Rankings are based on the average of a player's best 8 rounds in the current season.
Why Best 8 Rounds?
This rewards strong performance without letting players dominate only by submitting more rounds than everyone else.
