How the OWGR Works
The Official World Golf Ranking is based on a player’s performance over the past two years. Points earned more than two years ago expire after the corresponding calendar week. Rankings are determined by average points per tournament, not total points. A maximum of 52 tournaments are counted, and if a player competes in more, only the most recent 52 are considered. The minimum divisor is 40. The number of points awarded at a tournament depends on the strength of the field.
