Player Rankings

The VSGA player rankings measures performance in national (i.e., United States Golf Association championships), state (i.e., VSGA championships) and regional competitions (i.e., major tournaments and invitationals) for amateur golfers who are members of the VSGA. Rankings may be given consideration in the selection of golfer of the year and for various teams (Virginia-West Virginia Matches and Captain’s Putter Matches), but they will not be the determining factor because so many criteria are considered in selecting players to be honored. In addition, certain exemptions into VSGA championships are based on Player Rankings.

The 2024 VSGA Player Rankings will start January 1, 2024 and run through December 31, 2024.
