In the men’s weekly world golf rankings announced on August 10 (local time), Rose earned 4.85 points, jumping from 20th to 9th place compared to last week. He accumulated these points by winning the first round of the PGA Tour playoffs, the FedEx St. Jude Championship (total prize money $20 million), held at TPC Southwind (par 70, 7,288 yards) in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. This victory marks his 12th PGA Tour win and his first in two years and six months since the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February 2023. The winner’s prize is $3.6 million (about 5 billion won).

Scottie Scheffler (USA), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), and Xander Schauffele (USA) maintained their positions in the top three. J.J. Spaun (USA), who lost in a playoff at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, climbed two spots to 6th place. Among Korean players, Im Sungjae is ranked 29th and An Byeonghun is 59th. Kim Siwoo, who finished tied for 14th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, jumped seven spots to 63rd.
