In early 2020, the USGA and the R&A implemented major changes to the fabric of our handicap system. This revamped World Handicap System brings the game of golf under a single set of handicapping rules and provide a more consistent measure of players’ ability between different regions of the world. The WHS Hub serves as your one-stop shop for all the information you need to know about the World Handicap System and the changes that are coming in 2024. Please share this hub with all of your fellow golfers!
