Golf Australia's High Performance Program uses The R&A's WAGR in selecting benchmark players and Australian Teams.
Whilst the GA OOM recognises the best performed player over the previous 12-month period, Golf Australia's High Performance Program places greater emphasis on The R&A's WAGR when selecting benchmark players, Australian Teams and prioritising funding allocations.
The WAGR is more indiciative of a player's standing, as it considers events worldwide and compares all players worldwide.
