Junior Golf Scoreboard
Eligibility: To be eligible to be ranked in The Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings a player must meet the following criteria:
- Have competed in four multi-day stroke play tournaments within the last 365 days for which we have received the results and they are listed by the same
name and hometown.
- Have their high school graduation year in their tournament record.
- Still be in high school or prior to August 1st after graduation.
- Have competed in an age group that:
completes at least 36 holes,
has a minimum of 5 competitors that complete all scheduled rounds,
has played from a minimum of 4,500 yards and not shorter than the forward most USGA rated tees, and
there is no stroke limit rule in place.
How the Rankings are Computed:
We use three criteria to compute a players overall rank and against all players within their graduation class.
Individual Scoring – For the 85% of the player’s rounds that are his/her lowest scores, this is simply the average difference of their score compared to the
USGA rating of the courses they played in their tournaments. In other words how well does this player score when playing in tournaments. This criteria
counts for 65% of a player’s ranking calculation.
Strength of Field – The number displayed here is the result of our proprietary ranking formula that determines a score for all the tournaments played by this
individual. Again, simply put, a lower number means they played against stronger players and the closer two players’ strength numbers are, the more
similar the competitiveness of their tournaments. This criteria counts for 25% of a player’s ranking calculation.
Strength of Finish – This table displays the finishes for the player. Finishes count 10% in the ranking computation and are weighted in accordance with the
number of players competed against or, in other words, the size of the field.
Special Note: The Junior Golf Scoreboard has made a conscious effort to rely more on scoring than on how big the tournaments were that a competitor
played in. Selected national tournaments still play an important role in determining the rankings, but the system also lets any multi-day stroke play
tournament count. The Junior Golf Scoreboard believes this will make for a more inclusive approach and will bring recognition to more players.
