The Mark H. McCormack Medal is presented annually by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to the leading player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking after the last 'elite' event of the season. The award is named after World Golf Hall of Famer Mark McCormack, who was a supporter of golf and the founder of IMG. In 2011, New Zealand's Lydia Ko was awarded the first ever women's Mark H. McCormack Medal, a trophy she retained in 2012 and 2013.
