Rory McIlroy maintains his grip on the third position in the OWGR, unchanged from the previous week. The Northern Irishman’s consistent play is reflected in his stable average points score, a testament to his continued dominance in the upper echelons of the sport. Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood, who started the week ranked 9th, has dropped to 10th.
MacIntyre and Hatton Hold Key Positions in the Top 20
Robert MacIntyre retains his 14th spot in the rankings, mirroring his position from the previous week. Tyrrell Hatton, however, has experienced a slight dip, sliding from 16th to 17th. Similar to Fleetwood, Hatton’s average points remain unchanged, emphasizing the marginal differences that separate players at this elite level.
Elsewhere, England’s Matt Fitzpatrick has seen a more notable decline, falling three places to 44th. His drop serves as a reminder of how fiercely contested every position in the rankings can be.
Top 10 Rankings: Scottie Scheffler Reigns Supreme
The pinnacle of the leaderboard remains firmly in Scottie Scheffler’s grasp, as he holds onto the coveted world number one position. The rest of the top ten is marked by stability, with one exception: Bryson DeChambeau’s improvement from 10th to 9th. This shift comes at the expense of Fleetwood, who now occupies the final spot in the top ten.
