How do golf world rankings work?

Both the men's and women's golf rankings systems are similar.

A player's performance is evaluated over a rolling two-year period, with weighting placed in favour of the current year, and more weighting put on the most recent 13 weeks.

More points are available at certain tournaments depending on field strength.
