Top Amateur Players By Country
Keywords: People
This page lists the top amateur players for each country.
- Players included should have citizenship, be resident, and/or be born in the country in question. Duplicates are allowed.
- We strive to list the 5-15 strongest players per country, as well as WAGC/KPMC/IWABC/ITBC representatives.
- Professionals (i.e. those who are members of one of the professional guilds) should not be added to this list. If a country does have professional players, add them to the professionals page, and add a link to the relevant country.
- Please leave a last update time for each country you change. Thank you!
Players in bold represented their country or won an event since 2018. Most of this article is about 8 - 14 years out of date as of 2023.
