Field Rankings Adjusted on Golf Predictor

The field ranking calculations on Golf Predictor have been adjusted to take the number of events played into account for the appropriate metrics. For metrics where a lower number is better (e.g. average position in current season/last five events etc.), in the case of a tie, golfers who have played more tournaments will be ranked higher. For those metrics where a higher number is better (e.g. wins/top tens in the current season), in the case of a tie, golfers who have played less tournaments will be ranked higher. This is because in the former situation, it indicates more consistency and in the latter situation it represents a higher percentage. This is only fair, but it doesn't apply to the ranking of certain metrics, such as world ranking or performance likelihood, which remain unchanged.

All data tables and charts have been updated to reflect this change, which will make the field rankings more accurate. Just another way to make Golf Predictor a little better!
