Why is the SPWAR better or superior than the R&A attempt or any other ranking of amateur golfers?
Answer In summary, the SPWAR is the most accurate ranking of amateurs in golf history because: a) more accurate points allocation, or tournament weighting, than any amateur ranking ever, b) it covers at least hundreds more events than any ranking of golfers ever compiled and every significant tournament anywhere worldwide, c) inclusion of the last two years of player track records rather than just one year (with most recent year track record weighted double the previous year), d) includes all amateurs in the ranking finishing in any position awarded points in any included event (no “pre-qualifying” of any player excluding others), e) emphasizes “win, place or show” which more closely matches the objective of golf competition than any average performance system.
