6/14 Welcome to the inaugural Class of 2028 girls rankings. This is a VERY talented class with enough talent to make a formidable top-20, so expect athletes to move in and out of the top-10 after big events!

Ranking system, explained: We assign point values to wins, top-5, top-10, and top-15 finishes in top junior and amateur events within a two year time span. AJGA open events and regional tournaments have been assigned lesser point values, as well as top-3 finishes, and points are subtracted for finishes outside the top-20 in the top junior events. Points adjustments are considered for players who play significantly less or more tournaments than others, and percentage of top finishes are evaluated. Our system rewards consistency of steady performance rather than an athlete with a few great finishes but several sub-par finishes. Events in the past year have more weight than tournaments in the previous year.
