What Are The Steps Used To 
Calculate Pro Golf Ranking's Scores?

This is a step by step example of how we calculate our scores. This is made several screens wide so that anyone studying it will not miss any steps.

I challenge the Golfweek/Sagarin rating and the "World Golf Ranking "(rating)"" to make the same detailed disclosure. This must include any "weighing" factors. This is so anyone can duplicate their numbers.

This is so that the public can decide which system is the most easily understood, unbiased and fair.
