Top 70 - August 2010
Only two events have passed since my last rankings but with a two-week gap before our next tournament...what the hey. 2010 statistics now count for 70% of the ratings. The players in bold are rookies and the players in italics are non-members of the LPGA. As usual, notes are after the...
Top 70 - July 2010
Five events have been played - two of them majors - since the players were last ranked. As you might expect, there have been quite a few changes. 2010 performance counts for 60% of the rating and there are now two rookies listed (in bold), one of them reaching the Top 40. Notes follow the...
Top 70 - May 2010
We have a new Number One on the HD charts and our first rookie (in bold) cracks the Top 70. It's probably not the rookie you think it is. Notes are after the jump. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Ai Miyazato Jiyai Shin Lorena Ochoa Yani Tseng Suzann Pettersen Cristie Kerr Na...
Top 70 - April 2010
Another three-week break in the official schedule has prompted me to post my second Top 70 update of the year, even though only four events have been played. 2010 results count for only 20% of the rating. The third column lists the player's rating in March. Notes on the new rankings follow the...
Top 70 - March 2010
I wasn't going to post new rankings after only two events but the other ideas I've been working on during this long Tour dry spell haven't panned out. There aren't any drastic changes (although there's a new #1) but what changes there are will give you an idea of how each player's season has...
Preseason Top 30
Did you know there are only three weeks remaining before the LPGA season tees off at the Honda LPGA Thailand? I'd better put on the magic glasses and fill out my entry for the 2010 LPGA Prognostication Derby! You can do it too - just make a FanPost or list your choices for the Top 30 in the...
Top 40 Players of the Decade
You knew I wasn't going to let this one slide by before the year was out... To rank the best players of the 2000s, I used the same method I have used in the past to rank players across multiple years (such as the Sorenstam Era and the Best of the ‘90s). I took my seasonal rankings for all...
Top 70 - 2009 Final
Once all of the tryptophan I ingested last week was purged from my system, I was able to complete the final player rankings of 2009. The player's previous ranking from September is in parentheses and the rookies are in bold. Comments follow the jump. 1. Lorena Ochoa (5) 2. Jiyai...
Top 70 - September 2009
I wasn't planning on posting an updated ranking until our next break in the schedule but since it has undergone a major shake-up and the Player of the Year race is in full swing, I decided to do one today. The ranking is now entirely based on 2009 results. Rookies are in bold, the player's...
Top 70 - August 2009
Yeah I know - only two events have been played since the July rankings but this long break between tournaments was tailor-made for updates of this sort. 2009 stats now make up 85% of the ranking. As usual, the rookies are in bold and the player's previous ranking is in parentheses. Comments...
