World No. 2 Ko Jin-young (26) has closed in on No. 1 Nelly Korda (USA). In the weekly women's golf world rankings officially announced on the morning of the 28th (Korean time), she received 9.71 points and maintained her second place. Korda has held the No. 1 spot for two months since early last month with 9.75 points, but the gap between the two players has narrowed to 0.04 points. Although the 2023 LPGA Tour has ended, the points changed due to a unique selection method.

Introduced in February 2006, the women's golf world rankings are calculated based on tournament results over the past two years, totaling 104 weeks, as of the announcement date. Recent 13-week results carry more weight, and majors are given additional weighting. Lydia Ko (New Zealand) is 3rd, Kim Se-young (28, Mediheal) 4th, Park In-bee (33, KB Financial Group) 5th, Hataoka Nasa (Japan) 6th, Minjee Lee (Australia) 7th, Yuka Saso (Philippines) 8th, Kim Hyo-joo (26, Lotte) 9th, and Brooke Henderson (Canada) ranks 10th.
