“It Is A Weak System”: The Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), which was revamped in August to make it more equitable, has been criticized by top golfers like Jon Rahm, who referred to it as “laughable.” Tiger Woods wants the World Golf Ranking System to be changed.
Tiger Woods, a golf legend, has criticized the new world rankings system, describing it as “flawed” and expressing optimism that it will soon be “fixed.”Top golfers like Jon Rahm have criticized the “laughable” Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), which was updated in August to be more equitable.
Woods, who has won 15 Majors, said that the rankings system needs to be looked at again.
“Yes, OWGR, the system is flawed.
That’s something that we all here recognize,” the 46-year-old athlete, who had been forced to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge due to a foot injury, stated on Tuesday during the press conference that preceded the tournament.
Evidently, the system is flawed because the field at Dubai (DP World Tour Championship) received fewer points than at Sea Island (RSM Classic on the PGA Tour), where more of the best players were present. How can it be fixed? Those are the meetings that we will need to hold.
“I remember a time in my career when I had a big lead. The following year, I wouldn’t have to compete in a single tournament, and I would still be ranked No.1.Afterward, we altered that system. Therefore, it has been altered in the past, and I anticipate that it will be altered soon.
Woods had developed plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes, in his right foot while preparing for the annual charity event. His last appearance at the British Open was in July in St. Andrews.
Over the years, the OWGR has undergone numerous modifications.” ranking Points are derived from each tournament’s Total Field Rating” is a new feature of the current system, which went into effect in August. Players’ individual stroke-gained world ratings are used to calculate the field ratings.
These ratings are determined by round-by-round scores that have been adjusted for the relative difficulty of each round.
