World rankings in men's, women's golf frozen indefinitely

With professional golf on an indefinite hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the math behind the world rankings in both men's and women's golf has been put on pause.

Officials from the Official World Golf Rankings and the Rolex Rankings released a joint statement Friday announcing that both ranking systems would be frozen "until further notice" as tournaments around the world continue to be canceled or postponed.

"The governing boards of the OWGR and WWGR have decided that the rankings will be frozen at Week 11 (the week ending March 15th and March 16th, 2020) and will continue to monitor the impact of coronavirus COVID-19," the statement read.
