  • Persistence in the Official World Golf Rankings
    PERSISTENCE IN THE OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Mason Bergh December 2018 PERSISTENCE IN THE OFFICIAL WORLD GOLF RANKINGS Mason Bergh December 2018 Economics Abstract This paper builds on decades of hot hand effect research. Belief in persistent success or failure is common in sports despite a lack of statistical evidence supporting the phenomenon. Using weekly ranking data for 60 professional golfers around the world, this study deploys an ordinary least squares regression to analyze if persistent rank movement exists in the Official World Golf Rankings. This study hypothesizes that persistence does not exist outside of chance because significant evidence is needed to support the existence of streaks in golf ranks. Like previous studies, the results suggest that streaks do occur, but true statistical evidence to reject the hypothesis was not present. KEYWORDS: (Persistence, Hot hand, Official World Golf Rankings, Golf) JEL CODES: Z21, L83 ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thank you to my family for the continuous love and support that they have shown me. Also, thank you to Neal Rappaport for his commitment and guidance throughout this process. iii ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Mason Bergh Signature iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT…………………………………………………………………………. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS…………………………………………………………. iii 1 INTRODUCTION……………………………………………………………...... 1 2 LITERATURE REVIEW………………………………………………………… 3 2.1 Beginning of Streak Research………………………………………………... 4 2.2 Psychological Theories………………………………………………………. 6 2.3 Literature in Golf…………………………………………………………….. 8 3 THEORY……………………………………………………………………….... 12 3.1 Model………………………………………………………………………… 12 4 DATA…………………………………………………………………………….
