The world No.2 could get back to No.1 by Monday based on how things play out at the PGA Tour’s CJ Cup. According to OWGR guru @Nosferatu on Twitter, there are two scenarios that would cause this to happen.
LIV officials believe the partnership with the MENA Tour, which already has OWGR accreditation, will allow LIV events to begin receiving points immediately, starting with this week’s LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok.
The BMW PGA marked the first time since the Open Championship nearly two months ago where significant points were available to the contingent who jumped to the eight-event series, which is not eligible for the ranking.
Coincidentally, 2010 was also the last time Fowler did not play in the Masters, which he’s in serious danger of missing this year given he’s still yet to qualify.
A decade and change of utterly dominant golf for Johnson could put him in the same class as Woods when it comes to the world ranking. He’ll be 47 then.
We compared the world ranking from the start of the pandemic (March 16) to today (November 30) and discovered that 10 players who are now in the world’s top 100 moved up at least 100 spots.
