On the afternoon of the 11th (local time), Taylor received 2.22 points in the weekly men's golf world rankings, jumping 25 spots from 69th place last week. Earlier that day, Taylor defeated Tommy Fleetwood (England) in a playoff at the RBC Canadian Open, held at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on the PGA Tour. This victory marks a historic achievement as the first Canadian player to win in 69 years since Pat Fletcher in 1954.

Scottie Scheffler (USA), Jon Rahm (Spain), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), Patrick Cantlay (USA), and Viktor Hovland (Norway) retained their positions from 1st to 5th place. South Korea's Im Sung-jae is ranked 19th, Kim Joo-hyung 22nd, Kim Si-woo 31st, and Lee Kyung-hoon 48th. Choi Seung-bin, winner of the KPGA Championship on the Korean Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA) Korean Tour, made a remarkable leap of 397 spots to 678th in the world rankings.
