Better Rankings:
Based On Facts!
Our goal is to see more of the best players.
The results may surprise you.
Like other sports that have found fact based rankings work
best,
we base our final championship rankings on a full season of competition. Real leaders and champions
are named based on their scores and their ability to repeat championship
play.
Which pro golfer really plays better? We let the facts speak
for themselves.
A player who only plays great five or six times a year, may not
really be as great a player as the one who competes regularly.
Why do these stats produce these kind of charts?
How quickly can a players position or points change?

When we started out we generated some interesting overall

for 2002.

The Pro Golfers with the physical stamina and
mental focus to maintain their skill to play
consistently most often over an entire season are the
best golf players.
Pro Golf Rankings compares your favorite pro golfers based
on the facts, while other rating systems compare opinions.
They all have some personal opinion buried in their math and
are therefore just their personal rating, not a ranking.
We find the real and rising stars among professional golf players
by balancing performance and participation. We are the only
easily understood and unbiased
ranking of professional golf players in the world.
Future Super Stars
We think our
top five are the super stars of tomorrow. They deserve recognition
for their hard work.
Pro Golf Rankings delivers that recognition.

Consistency Counts
Our Top 100 are the loyal and consistent supporters of the
tours who play the best and most often over an entire
season.
They are the framework that holds up the tours, like skyscrapers need a steel frame to hold
them up, the tours need the iron men and women of PRO Golf.
We believe the non super stars deserve recognition. Without them providing
the full field there would be no #1 ranking for the Super Stars as there would
be no one to compare them to.
Under our system, just like any other player who only plays occasionally,
Super Stars are affected by the fact they do not play very often.
Whereas in rating systems that are based on and use personal opinion
they can be rated at the top.
In any other sport if a player fails to appear for an event
they get a zero.
You cannot do that in golf.
What you can do is give the highest score in any round plus 1
stroke. This is the same as giving a zero in any other sport.
