Amateur golf rankings have become a cornerstone in the sport, providing a clear and reliable method for identifying top talent.
Established by The R&A, these rankings help select the field for prestigious tournaments like The Amateur Championship and the U.S. Amateur.
Before 2020, events were categorized from Elite A to G, but the ranking system has since evolved to offer a more streamlined approach.
These rankings are pivotal for emerging golfers aiming to make their mark. Events such as the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships and the Eisenhower Trophy play a significant role in shaping these rankings.
