Four years after the historic launch of the World Handicap System, which combined six different handicap systems around the world into a single programme, the USGA and R&A will begin releasing the first major changes on January 1, 2024.

In 2023, there will be nearly 3.5 million people with a handicap index, up from 2.59 million in 2020.
