Throughout the year I analyse the main golf rankings to help us assess the performances of Great Britain and Ireland’s (GB&I) leading players as well as the status of events they compete in.

This information is maintained on the Rankings page of the GolfBible website and is updated quarterly.

The latest update covering the September 2023 Quarter period has now been added.

I have selected Kris KIM (ENG) as my Player of the Quarter. The Surrey youngster, who only turned 16 on 30th September and represents Walton Heath G.C., has enjoyed an excellent late summer, winning two Championships and contributing strongly to recent team performances by England, Great Britain & Ireland and Europe.

Here is a summary of his performances in the 3 month period under review: –

English Under 18 Amateur Stroke Play Championship – Tied 39th
European Boys’ Team Championship (SUI) – SPQ Tied 1st / MP W4 H0 L2
English Boys’ Under 16 Open Amateur SP Championship (McGregor Trophy) – CHAMPION
European Young Masters (SLO) – 8th
R&A Boys’ Home Internationals (ENG) – W5 H0 L1
R&A Boys Amateur Championship (ENG) – SPQ 7th / MP CHAMPION
The Jacques Leglise Trophy (FRA) – W2 H1 L1
DP World Tour 1st Stage Qualifying (ENG) – T34 (-2)
The Junior PLAYERS Championship (USA) – 40th
Junior Ryder Cup (ITA) – W3 H1 L0

In late May 2023 Kris became the first amateur to be sponsored by CJ Group, the Korean-based global company with numerous golf interests. He is the son of Ji-Hyun Suh who competed on the LPGA in the 1990s.
