Rory McIlroy enters 2023 as the No.1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, the third time the Northern Irishman begins a calendar year in the top spot having done it previously in 2013 and 2015.

Scottie Scheffler hit an unspeakably horrible chip shot Monday at the JP McManus Pro-Am, one that provided chuckles all around, including from the World No.1 himself.
Unfortunately for Thomas, his first run as No.1 could last as little as two weeks, and there’s nothing he can do but sit back and watch during a two-week break from the tour.
