Goldengolf would like to summarize information about the notice that Rolex Rankings has changed new method of calculating points.

Announced on July 20, the new Rolex Rankings scoring method is said to be fair when can reflect the golfer’s performance. Only when golfers take part in a competition, the total number of individual points and the points divisor change. This means that if golfers do not participate in any tournaments, these parameters will stand still in the standard cycle of 104 consecutive weeks. Therefore, the position and score will be directly proportional to the number of participating times in this new mechanism.

The new ranking is calculated from May 11 when the two tournaments: LPGA of Japan Tour and KLPGA Tour (Korea) are opened. Korea has 7 stages, Japan has just owned 1 event. Therefore, golfers from Korea have clearly increased in Rolex rankings.

At the top of Rolex Ranking is golfer Ko Jin Young who comes from Korea. Followed by Nelly Korda (USA), Park Sung Hyun (Korea), Danielle Kang (USA) and Nasa Hataoka (Japan).

This ranking is recognized in 10 tournament systems in countries and territories such as the US, Europe, China, Japan and Australia. It is sponsored by two world organizations: The United States Golf Association (USGA) and Royal & Ancient (R&A).

With the situation of Covid 19, only the LPGA Tour is scheduled for a rematch from July 31 with the Drive On Championship event in Ohio. Because of the unclear reality, the Rolex Rankings managers have not been able to determine the time to reopen the old calculation.
