London, England – The Governing Board of Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) today announces the launch of the International Federation of PGA Tours Ranking List (International Federation Ranking List).

The International Federation Ranking List is a tool for tournament organisers to use in identifying competitive and upcoming international players competing on the Asian Tour, Japan Golf Tour, PGA Tour of Australasia, and the Sunshine Tour. Development of the list was first revealed in August of 2021 alongside the announcement of the recently enhanced system.

The International Federation Ranking List is comprised of 10 players from each Tour’s Order of Merit, ranked according to their OWGR. The number 1 ranked player from each of the previous season-ending Order of Merits will occupy the top four positions of the International Federation Ranking List to provide emphasis on each player’s accomplishment. The remaining 36 positions shall contribute further players according to their position in the relevant Order of Merit and OWGR.

“OWGR is delighted by the creation of the International Federation Ranking List offered as a tool for events to identify and reward with playing opportunities those high-performing players who regularly compete on these Tours,” said Chairman Peter Dawson” OWGR looks forward to the list facilitating the further enhancement of the global player pathways being created by its member organisations and Tours.”.
