This ranking system is based on ranking points gained from tournament results worldwide within the previous 104 week period.

During the Awards Period, Daniel’s overseas tournament commitments meant he was out of the country for 165 days, travelling alone playing on courses he had not been to previously. This gives more context to the highly competitive results he has achieved.
