Class of 2025 Girls Individual Rankings

American

FINAL Rankings 11/3: We end our 2025 class rankings on signing day on November 13th, and at the conclusion of the Elite Invitational, this is our final ten players plus five honorable mentions.

10/15: We have been working hard on implementing a new ranking system that is more objective, and this current top-10 American list reflects the changes we have made. We have assigned point values to wins, top-5, top-10, and top-15 finishes in top junior and amateur events within a two year time span, with more points assigned to tournaments within the past year. AJGA open events and regional tournaments have been assigned lesser point values, and points are subtracted for finishes outside the top-20 in the top junior events. These rankings reflect the success and consistency of the top junior players. Points adjustments are considered for players who play less tournaments than others, and percentage of top finishes are evaluated. It was a close race in the 3-5 spots, and also spots 8-10.
