It’s been a bit since we highlighted the methodology of The Universal Golf Rankings (TUGR) and why we believe it’s the purest way to rank golfers, as well as the most accurate in this new world of divided tours.

To all the new followers, here’s the rundown…

Most ranking systems in golf, including OWGR and the new SI rankings, are what we are calling a “points-based” system.

Essentially they create a scoring system and award points based on a number of factors and assumptions that go into their black-box formula…

Their weightings, assumptions, and imbedded biases spit out a number, and poof, that’s how they rank golfers.

Through this whole process, accuracy is lost.

At TUGR, we have found a better way to accurately rank all golfers without using convoluted formulas…

(4/5)

At TUGR, our methodology is simple, understandable, and accurate.

We rank golfers using head-to-head matchups, individually, and then map all of the results on a massive grid.

We then leverage the power of cloud computing to accurately rank all of these matchups…

(5/5)

In other words, our rankings are based on actual performance data - crazy isn’t it! We actually use performance to rank golfers.

Since LIV golfers play in majors are other DP events, there is enough cross-over to accurately and systematically integrate them into the rank

We could dive into much more, but visit us at TUGR.org to see the difference and why we believe TUGR is the most accurate way to rank all golfers in an unbiased and independent way.
