GC Country Rankings as at 31st March 2025

The GC Team Rankings (as at 31 March 2025) change again this quarter.

In the last quarter of 2024 USA moved up from fourth place into third. This quarter they've overtaken England to take second place.

Given their recent successes in both the 2024 GC World Championship and more recently their historic win in the Openshaw Shield, this is an expected move up the country listings.
