EUROPEAN TOUR 2019

Scoring Ratings For Tour Events Staged In The Persian Gulf

Since January 1st, 2015

Persian Gulf States Which Currently Host European Tour Events Are: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & Oman

Scoring Ratings are based on the Strokes Gained Format currently popular with many of Golf’s Major Tours.

Explanation: This rating takes into account changing playing conditions from tournament-to-tournament and from year-to-year.

Thus, if a golfer’s stroke average at a tournament is 72.67, and this tournament’s overall average is 73.89, then he is deemed to have performed better than if his average was 72.01 at another event where the overall average is 72.34.

As you can see, the ‘Rating’ order bears some resemblance to ‘Average’ order. Players with a minus rating (eg: - 0.64) have, on average, performed ‘over par’ in this Region since January 1st, 2015.

To Qualify For The Table, A Player Must Have Played A Minimum 8 Events.
