The table below shows the Top 30 GB&I players in the WAGR as well as their ranking movement in the year to date.Īlex FITZPATRICK (ENG), who is 4th (unchanged since June 2021), finished 2021 as the No. The ‘SPWAR Movement’ column highlights the progress made by John GOUGH (ENG), Archie DAVIES (WAL), Hugh FOLEY (IRL), Callum BRUCE (SCO), Zach CHEGWIDDEN (ENG), Harley SMITH (ENG), Calum SCOTT (SCO), Peter O’KEEFFE (IRL), Jack BIGHAM (ENG), Robert MORAN (IRL), Liam NOLAN (IRL) and Andrew NI (SCO) during the year. A high finish at the South Beach International Amateur in December saw the left-hander overtake fellow Yorkshireman Alex FITZPATRICK (ENG). Ranked 25th in the world Sam BAIRSTOW (ENG) finished 2021 as GB&I’s leading amateur golfer in the SPWAR. The table below shows the Top 30 GB&I players in the SPWAR as well as their ranking movement in the year to date. If the movement shown in one of the tables below is negative a player is moving up the ranking whilst if it is positive they will have fallen during the period. I compare each player’s quarter end ranking with their position at the start of the year to help establish their performance trend throughout the year. As a result field strengths at home and abroad were generally weaker than those seen in previous years.

I favour the SPWAR over the WAGR as I believe it has a better overall methodology.
I focus my attention on the two leading amateur rankings, the Scratch Players World Amateur Ranking (SPWAR) and the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). Here is my analysis of the Great British & Irish (GB&I) men’s amateur golf rankings as at 31st December 2021 (Quarter 4 – 2021).
