The best female golfers in the world play on different tours, but they have a common denominator: the Women’s Rolex World Golf Rankings, also known simply as the Rolex Rankings.

The Rolex Rankings were approved in 2004 by the top five tours at the first World Congress of Women’s Golf, held in May of that year. Finally, after various agreements, the ranking was published in February 2006.

Following the same practices of the Men’s Golf World Ranking, the Rolex Rankings orders the tournaments played by each player in the last two years chronologically, awarding points to each of them in each contest and contemplating the total value of the last thirteen weeks. Then, a gradual reduction is applied from week 13 and up to the rest of the weeks, up to two years.

The Rolex Rankings consider all the tournaments of ten world circuits: LPGA, EPSON, LET, LETAS, CLPGA, JLPGA, JSU, KLPGA, KDT, TLPGA, and WPGAA.

How are points assigned in the Rolex Rankings?

Players receive points based on their performance in each tournament, except for the major LPGA tournaments, where they receive a fixed point. For the rest of the events, a difficulty determined by the tournament’s importance is applied, and a scale of points is added depending on the participants. It is worth adding that the CLPGA, EPSON, and TLPGA have one main event per year that receives a similar score to any regular LPGA tournament.

Obviously, many additional factors must be taken into account to know when the players score points and when they don’t. For example, major events always add points when the qualifying cut is passed. But that’s different in a lot of regular tournaments.

One of the most important things is to understand the primary purpose of the scale: its ranking is the main eligibility criteria taken into account to access the Chevron Championship, HSBC Women’s World Championship, AIG Women’s Open, US Women’s Open, KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and Amundi Evian Championship.

Thus, the ranking announced a return to normality of the historical calculation of the classification, beginning with the tournaments played the week of March 1, 2021. In recent years, the Women’s Rolex World Golf Rankings technical committee has monitored the playing frequency of the best 400 players in the world and the calendar of the leading professional circuits.
