Chokwe attains World Amateur Golf ranking

Friday, September 26, 2025 | 90 Views |

Rising golf star, Loapi Chokwe, continues to excel on the course after joining an elite group of 77 African women on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) this week. Chokwe is ranked number 3,268, having achieved some remarkable milestones that earned her the grade.

These include one win, one Top 10 finish, one applied divisor and one counting event. A divisor is when each player is ranked according to their point average, determined by dividing the total number of points by the number of counting rounds played.

The 19-year-old, who currently trains at Balderstone Sport Institute in South Africa, is the first Motswana female golfer to meet the demanding standards of the WAGR.
