The Canadian PGA has becomes the first PGA in the PGA World Alliance to rank their own playing members with the launch of the Canadian PGA Player Rankings.” This is massive not only for the Canadian PGA and its 3,700 Members but for the entire Canadian golf industry as a whole,” said Glenn Cundari, President of the Canadian PGA. Based on a hybrid of the World Golf Rankings and other national rankings, the Canadian PGA Player Rankings will calculate results on a three-year cycle for all Canadian PGA National Championships and the Zone Championship from all nine Canadian PGA Zones. Points are awarded on a sliding scale based on each National Championship and on the field size of each Zone Championship.

Bryn Parry of North Vancouver, BC has been considered one of the best Canadian PGA playing professionals in the country for nearly a decade but as of today there is no disputing it. Parry has the distinct honour of being #1 in the Canadian PGA Player Rankings heading into the 2011 season. A two-time National Assistant’s Champion, Parry’s point accumulation since 2008 includes two runner-up finishes in the Canadian PGA Assistant’s Championship and 1st, 2nd & 4th place finishes in the BC Zone Championship. In 2007, Parry parlayed his incredible run in his home province all the way to PGA Tour Qualifying School that resulted in full status on the Nationwide Tour after missing his PGA Tour card by a single shot.

“I’m absolutely pumped to be recognized as the number one ranked player in the entire Canadian PGA,” said an elated Parry, Teaching Professional at the Seymour Creek Golf Centre. “I want to thank the Canadian PGA for creating something that we can all strive for and I’ll do my best to remain at the top of this list for as long as I can.” For a complete look at the Canadian PGA Top 100 Player Rankings List visit www.cpga.com.
