Daytona Beach, FL (My Sportsbook) - The process for calculating the women's world golf rankings has been modified to allow a more consistent outcome for each week's list. Beginning with the April 16th Rolex Rankings, points awarded for finishes within the two-year ranking period will be decreased in value equally each week following the most recent 13-week period. Points are weighed more heavily in the most recent 13 weeks. "Since the inception of the Rolex Rankings last year, we said we would continually review the process of how points are calculated in order to ensure we are accurately reflecting the performances of all players from around the world," said Chris Higgs, chairman of the Rolex Rankings Technical Committee. "This modification will only strengthen the overall representation of the best players in the world." Since the rankings' inception last February, point values had decreased only in seven 13-week periods following the most recent 13-week period. |
