What does RET stand for?

RET stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of RET across different fields and industries.

Retired

Most Common

Retired (RET) in golf refers to a player voluntarily leaving a tournament or event before completing all rounds, often due to injury, illness, personal reasons, or strategic decisions. When a golfer retires from a competition, they are officially recorded as RET in the tournament results, distinguishing them from WD (Withdrawn), which is typically done before a round starts, or DSQ (Disqualified), which results from a rules violation.

RET may occur when a player feels unable to continue competing at a high level, whether due to physical discomfort, extreme weather conditions, equipment failure, or mental strain. While retiring does not result in penalties, it can impact a golfer’s world rankings, prize earnings, and eligibility for future events. Professional tours and organizations carefully manage RET classifications to ensure accurate record-keeping and tournament integrity.

Return

The amount that is earned by someone who holds an asset, usually expressed as a percentage of what it cost to acquire the asset.
