The ‘new golf emperor’ Scottie Scheffler (USA), Jon Rahm (Spain), and Collin Morikawa (USA), the ‘top 3’, remain unchanged. Cameron Smith (Australia) rose to 4th place, while ‘Playoff (PO) Champ’ Patrick Cantlay (USA) dropped to 5th. For Korea, Im Sung-jae (24) is 20th, Kim Si-woo (27) 54th, ‘Asian Tour money leader’ Kim Joo-hyung (20) 71st, and Lee Kyoung-hoon (31, all CJ Logistics) 88th.
