World golf ranks at the end of 2020

Zalatoris jumped 613 places to 59th, taking first place for position improvement over 12 months. In early 2020, Zalatoris also played at Korn Ferry Tour – the second class system of the PGA Tour. At the end of the season, the player born in 1996 won a championship, reaching the top 10 10 times over 16 awards.

In September, Zalatoris played the major US Open thanks to his stellar performance at the Korn Ferry Tour. He did not miss a great opportunity and finished T6 at this event. After that impressive performance, Zalatoris added twice to the top 10 at the PGA Tour thanks to a special ticket. Because of Covid-19, he had to wait until August 2021 to be officially promoted. If you win two more prizes with the sponsor’s spot in the meantime, Zalatoris will immediately receive your membership card.

The top 10 OWGR from the top include Johnson, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, Webb Simpson, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Cantlay and Tyrrell Hatton. This group order has been unchanged for the past five weeks.

Johnson alone has achieved a total of 110 weeks to be No. 1 in the world, behind Greg Norman with 331 weeks, and Tiger Woods holds a record for the time he holds this position – 683 weeks. This is Johnson’s second time at the top of OWGR at the end of his office year, the first in 2017. The remaining five golfers at least twice have achieved similar form, including Woods (12 times), Norman (7 times), and Sir Nick Faldo. Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka both times.

At the end of the year, Woods ranked 41, while the beginning of the year was sixth. This update also marks the sixth “Super Tiger” outside the top 25 when the administrative year ends. But if he opened the double list, he was 22nd in the top 50 after 25 years of professionalism.

After 12 months, there were 14 golfers in this segment, of which Morikawa was the best. The 2020 major PGA Championship champion at the age of 23 jumps 58 places to seventh. By the end of this year, the top 20 OWGR were absent from players over 37, while at the end of last year there were six.

Considering tournaments, the PGA Championship, with 899 points, hits the ceiling on the competition index, in which the champion gets 100 points. Major US Open is second with 873 points. Masters finalized the top 5 of these categories.

Augusta National’s exclusive major is behind three PGA Tour events including Memorial, Northern Trust and WGC-FedEx St.. Jude Classic. The reason is that these three tournaments are scheduled to rematch after a three-month translation vacation – a time when the stars are “hungry for achievements”.
