Rolex Rankings has changed the way how to calculate points

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.
