With the onset of the world golf rating system in 2025, the performances of the best players in the world have resonated in world golf rankings. Official World Gold Ranking (OWGR) is a real-time picture of the picture of form, consistency, and success at the international level. This is because top ten players will have earned their berths mostly due to winning or at least, playing well most of the time.
Up to date Top 10 Players
- Scottie Scheffler (USA): Remains in the No.1 position as a result of maintaining top-10 positions as shown in recent performances topped by a win last Saturday at the CJ Cup Baylor Nelson.
- Rory McIlroy (NIR): Riding the high of a career Grand Slam after winning the Masters last month, McIlroy is in perfect shape going into the summer.
- Xander Schauffele (USA): Schauffele is the 2020 PGA champion and will have a full tilt to defend the winning streak at Quail Hollow.
- Collin Morikawa (USA): Only a consistent player in the top-10, known to hit precision iron.
- Justin Thomas (USA): He ended his winless drought after prevailing at the RBC Heritage recently.
- Ludvig Aberg (SWE): The Swedish youngster scored a career highlight by clinching a pivotal event after placing the top at the Genesis Invitational.
- Hideki Matsuyama (JPN): Has continued to produce good results especially when the pressure is high on him.
- Russell Henley (USA): Crashed into the top 10 following an outstanding performance in Arnold Palmer Invitational.
- Sepp Straka (AUT): won the Truist Championship in order to achieve a top 10 status.
- Shane Lowry (IRL): Recently he posted a career best finish when he finished the runner up at North Carolina.
Future Major Golf Events
PGA Championship (May 15-18)
This major will feature the top players all over the world and will be played in Quail Hollow in Charlotte. Following McIlroy going after additional pieces of silverware and Scheffler currently holding the position one world ranking, the two men are considered the favourites to prevail in the game according to any reliable provider of golf betting online.
Charles Schwab Challenge (May 22-25)
This traditional at Colonial in Fort Worth will be another challenge that will exercise the skills of players in precision and strategy play; and they will be valuable FedExCup points.
Memorial Tournament (May 29-June 1)
The event hosted by Jack Nicklaus is a popular one and the course provided at MuirField Village is a challenge. A victory in this one can lead the players up the ladder.
U.S. Open (June 12-15)
Going back to Oakmont, the U.S. Open should be another test of all-round skill that should punish and reward. World number one Bryson DeChambeau will be eager to retain his title at the event where he is up against a stellar field of competitors.
The Open (July 17-20)
Royal Portrush will host the last major of the year. Weather, topography, and history are going to be a factor, particularly in the case of local hero Shane Lowry, who has secured The Open in 2019.
Conclusion
PGA tour world rankings are hardly inert and every tournament has been determinant in determining the live leaderboard. High-stakes golf, which is about to start now with the summer majors in the offing, will be going on possibly the PGA and The Open. Who will emerge victoriously? Is the Masters champion Rory McIlroy going to set the season off with a bang?
