The World Rankings for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) is a worldwide ranking system partnered with the R&A and USGA that ranks both men and women with disabilities based on their participation in qualifying golf events. The WR4GD currently has three separate ranking categories: Gross, Net, Net Stableford. Certified individuals will be ranked in each category depending on the type of event they participated in, and how they placed.

Not eligible for WR4GD pass? Learn about the Access Pass! The Access Pass is for players with a disability falling within qualifying categories, but not severe enough for the WR4GD pass. The Access Conditional Pass is for players with a condition accepted as a disability in their country, not covered by qualifying categories. Individuals with either pass cannot be ranked in WR4GD but can participate in select adaptive golf events.
