The USGA Most Improved Player Report computes the most improved player in a league by using the USGA's recommended formula for calculating the most improved player.  The formula works as follows:

 

• Add 12 (add 6 if using 9-Hole Handicap Indexes) to the player's Handicap Index at the start of the month. This is value A. 

• Add 12 (add 6 if using 9 hole indexes) to the player's Handicap Index at the end of the month. This is value B. 

• Divide value A by value B, calculating to three decimal places. This is the improvement factor.

 

The player with the highest improvement factor receives the most improved player of the month recognition.
