Finishing runner-up at Pebble Beach moved Aberg all the way up to 11th in the world ranking, an amazing accomplishment considering the Swede turned pro only last June.
According to world-ranking guru Nosferatu, Fowler’s performance was good enough to move him to 50th in the world for the first time since January 2021.
The world No.2 could get back to No.1 by Monday based on how things play out at the PGA Tour’s CJ Cup. According to OWGR guru @Nosferatu on Twitter, there are two scenarios that would cause this to happen.
Mickelson, who is in the field this week in South Korea, could drop outside the world’s top 50 depending where he and others finish in the no-cut event and how myriad scenarios play out.
This wasn’t the first near-miss for Rose in claiming the top spot back for the third time in the past six weeks after becoming world No.1 for the first time in September.
An indication of Tiger’s return to elite play around the world in 2018 is his world ranking, which made some really impressive increases over the year.
