Nothing for Scottie Scheffler. The American in Mexico, at the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba, a tournament of the PGA Tour, did not take advantage of the absence of Rory McIlroy and, despite a comeback in the final that allowed him to close the competition in 3rd place, he failed the opportunity to make the counter-pass.

Therefore, the Northern Irishman remains in command of the world ranking, with the American 2 / o behind him ahead of the Australian Cameron Smith, 3 / o.

The impetus for the creation of the Official World Golf Rankings came from the tournament committee of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, which in the eighties realized that the system it adopted, that is to send invitations for participation in the British Open by analyzing each tour individually, was leading to the exclusion of more and more high-level players because they shared their commitments on multiple different tours, and from the authoritative sports manager Mark McCormack, who became the first president of the international committee that oversees the creation of the ranking.

The system used to develop the ranking was developed based on that of McCormack’s World Golf Rankings, which had previously been published in its World of Professional Golf Annual from 1968 to 1985, which was an unofficial ranking and was not used for others.

purposes such as selecting players to invite to tournaments. The first ranking was published before the 1986 edition of The Masters.

The top three were therefore European players, but among the top fifty thirty-one players were Americans.
