Introduction to PDGA Player Rankings

In 2022, PDGA World Rankings made their return*. Drawing on valuable input from stakeholders, including the PDGA Pro Tour Players’ Committee and the Disc Golf Pro Tour, the metrics for calculating the rankings have been refined to produce the best gauge of consistently excellent performance on the sport’s largest stages. 

Initially, a U.S. Tour Ranking will be released, based on the results of U.S.-based majors and elite series events. As pandemic-related travel restrictions relax in Europe allowing for the resumption of that professional tour, a European Tour Ranking will be published. 

These rankings will be unified into a single World Rankings as soon as professional disc golfers from around the world return to more-frequent, direct competition.
