The Calendar of events is available at: https://www.eastafricajuniorgolf-rankings.com/calendar

The EAJGR runs 12 sanctioned tournaments annually. Players’ yearly rankings are calculated from their best 6 tournaments (highest points) within that period.

The Super-ranking events feature larger fields, are held over 3 days and have more points. 3 Super-ranking events are scheduled during the April, August and December School Holidays to maximize participation while minimizing disruption to school.

The inaugural 12 events in 2026 are held at the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club. As the rankings grow, the tournaments will be expanded to other clubs and regions.

The ranking is based on the Base Points and Tournament Multiplier based on the grade.

Ranking Points = Sum of best 6 tournament results, where each result is:
Base Points × Tournament Multiplier

Category	Point Multiplier	Minimum Field	Format
Super Ranking Events	1.5x	50+ players	54 holes (3 days)
A-Grade Ranking Events	1.0x	15+ players	36 holes (2 days)
B-Grade Ranking Events	0.75x	8-14 players	36 holes (2 days)
C-Grade Ranking Events	0.5x	5-7 players	18-36 holes
