Definition

World Ranking system used in professional golf to rank players based on their recent tournament performance and strength of competition faced. The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) uses a points-based system that considers tournament results over a rolling two-year period, with more recent performances weighted more heavily. WR points are awarded based on finish position and the strength of the tournament field. This ranking system determines exemptions for major championships, World Golf Championships, and other elite events, making it crucial for professional golfers' career advancement.
