The Global Amateur Pathway Ranking is now live, following the registration period, with Wenyi Ding narrowly leading the way after his win at the Southern Amateur Championship.
The DP World Tour, The R&A and the PGA TOUR launched the Global Amateur Pathway – powered by the World Amateur Golf Ranking® (WAGR®) – to help the very best male amateur players take the next step in their careers, with Ding currently in pole position to gain a DP World Tour card for the 2025 season.
Amateur Champion Jacob Skov Olesen is close behind and in line to gain a European Challenge Tour exemption, along with Bastien Amat and James Ashfield. Other players in line to benefit from the exemptions on partner tours around the world are Nathan Petronzio (PGAT Americas), Brian Warian (PGAT Amaericas), Jake Hall (PGAT Americas) and Tyran Snyders (Sunshine Tour).
The first Global Amateur Pathway Ranking Period will conclude on 13 October 2024, with an updated Ranking published by Friday each week.
The landmark initiative creates a pathway for non-collegiate amateur players on to the DP World Tour and partner Tours around the world. The Global Amateur Pathway complements PGA TOUR University – which awards membership on PGA TOUR-sanctioned Tours to the top Division-I college golfers at the end of the NCAA Championship – to ensure opportunities are available for elite players across the amateur ranks.
