In the latest World Golf Ranking, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy remains as the best UK player at second place.

World Golf Ranking: Hardly any changes among the UK players

Tyrrell Hatton, another significant name from England, sits at 17th, preserving his rank alongside his fellow countrymen. The unchanged positions of these top players suggest consistency in their recent performances on the tour. Having three British players within the top 20 highlights the continued presence of UK golfers in the upper echelons of the sport.

Turning to golfers from Scotland, Robert MacIntyre ranks 84th, undergoing a small slide down the ranking from the previous week. Matt Wallace from England makes strides moving up to 85th. While MacIntyre’s downward adjustment is a setback, Wallace’s improvement can be taken as a positive sign going into the upcoming tournaments.

The current leader of the World Golf Ranking remains Scottie Scheffler, who continues to hold the 1st position, matching his standing from last week. Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, a prominent figure in the sport, is the second-best golfer in the ranking. The stability at the pinnacle of the ranking with Scheffler and McIlroy reflects their dominant forms in recent competitions. Following these frontrunners, America’s Wyndham Clark stays at 3rd place, which completes the unchanged leadership trio in the World Golf Ranking. Down the order, Xander Schauffele (4th), Jon Rahm (5th), Ludvig Aberg (6th), Viktor Hovland (7th), Patrick Cantlay (8th), Brian Harman (9th), and Max Homa (10th) all maintain their previous week’s positions, revealing no movement among the top ten. In such an environment, maintaining position is a critical success factor for the elite golfers looking to cement their supremacy in the sport.

Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.

Jim Furyk and Mike “Fluff” Cowan part ways after 25 years

For over a quarter of a century, caddie legend Mike “Fluff” Cowan and golf pro Jim Furyk formed an inseparable duo on the course. But now they have parted ways by mutual agreement, as Cowan has found his way back onto the PGA Tour.

Separation from Jim Furyk: Mike “Fluff” Cowan returns to the PGA Tour

Cowan, who already stood on the green alongside Tiger Woods in the late 1990s, is now returning to the big stage of golf. At this week’s CJ Cup Byron Nelson in McKinney, Texas, he is supporting Taiwanese professional C.T. Pan. “It’s hard to say goodbye after 25 years,” Cowan commented to Golfweek. “But sometimes it’s necessary to make the right move, even if it’s difficult.” The decision comes at a time when Jim Furyk has been sidelined by injuries for the last two years. His best result on the Champions Tour this season was a tied 33rd place at the Hoag Classic in March.

“We’re playing for two million dollars. They’re playing for 8, 20, 25 million,” Furyk wrote in a message to Golfweek. “I knew it was a good opportunity for him, and C.T. is playing pretty well. (Fluff) was hesitant. Because he’s a great person at heart. But I pushed and we both knew it was the best thing for him and his family.” Compared to Furyk’s modest earnings of 19,464 US dollars this season, the 32-year-old Pan has already earned 674,187 US dollars. For Furyk’s son Tanner, the split has created a special opportunity to caddie for his father at three or four events this summer.

Cowan can look back on an impressive career in which he has worked for golfers such as Ed Sabo (1976-78), Peter Jacobsen (1978-96) and Tiger Woods (1996-99).
