Seung-Yul Noh, World Ranking Moves from 343 to 326
Earned Tied 30th Place Points at RSM Classic
Scheffler, Schauffele, McIlroy Maintain 'Top 3'
An Byeonghun 22nd, Im Sungjae 23rd, Kim Juhyung 27th
No Seung-yeol has risen to 326th in the world rankings.
In the men's golf weekly world rankings announced on the 24th (local time), he earned 0.42 points, jumping 17 places from 343rd last week. He accumulated points by finishing tied for 30th place (8-under 274) at the RSM Classic (total prize money $7.6 million), the last PGA Tour event of the year, held at the Sea Island Golf Club Seaside Course (par 70, 7,005 yards) in St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA. No Seung-yeol, ranked 177th in the FedEx Cup standings, failed to secure his PGA Tour card for next year.
At the end of this tournament, the top 125 players in the FedEx Cup points standings receive tour cards for the next season, while players ranked between 126th and 150th receive conditional status. No Seung-yeol, who did not secure even conditional status, is expected to face many difficulties entering PGA Tour events next year. This year, without a tour card, No Seung-yeol only participated in 10 events, including Monday qualifiers or B-level tournaments where many top players were absent.
