PGA Underdog Best Ball Rankings (2025)

Some notes about our rankings:

The structure of Underdog’s Best Ball contests incentivize us to try and find late-round players who won’t be selected in most drafts, so we have some players who typically go undrafted ranked ahead of some better players who are almost always drafted.

We also want players who will play a lot. “50” in the status column means the player is locked into the Signature Events and may not play much outside of those. “Next 10” means the player could play their way into the same exemption. Finally, players with “y” will have to play a lot (in weaker fields) to have a chance to earn the same status. We are accounting for this in the rankings, but this column adds additional context for anyone drafting with these rankings
