‘Match King’ Billy Horschel (USA) jumped to 17th in the world rankings. On the afternoon of the 29th (Korean time), he received 4.44 points in the officially announced weekly golf world rankings, soaring 17 spots. He accumulated points by winning the World Golf Championships (WGC) Series Dell Technologies Match Play (total prize money $10.5 million), which concluded that morning at Austin Golf Club in Texas (par 71, 7,108 yards). This is his 6th PGA Tour victory in total, coming after a long gap of 2 years and 11 months since the Zurich Classic in April 2018.

24-year-old star rookie Scottie Scheffler (USA) also surged vertically from 32nd to 22nd, led by his runner-up finish. It is surprising that he has not yet won since joining the PGA Tour last year. The ‘Top 5’?Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas (both USA), Jon Rahm (Spain), Collin Morikawa, and ‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambeau?remain unchanged. ‘Golf Emperor’ Tiger Woods (USA) dropped to 67th. For Korea, Im Sung-jae (23) is 18th, ‘American Express Champion’ Kim Si-woo (26) is 51st, and An Byeong-hun (30, both from CJ Logistics) is 90th.
