Scottie Scheffler has solidified his position as the number one golfer in the world with an impressive points average of 15.016. This gives him a lead over the second-ranked Rory McIlroy, whose average is 7.365, more than double McIlroy’s average. In fact, Scheffler’s lead over the second-ranked player is greater than the gap between the second-ranked player and the last-ranked player.
This recent string of victories, including back-to-back wins at the Masters and RBC Heritage, has been very impressive. He has won four out of his last five events, with a remarkable streak of not shooting over par in 39 rounds this year. Scheffler will be taking a break from competition to be with his wife, Meredith, as they await the arrival of their first child later this week.
On the women’s side, Nelly Korda has been dominating with five consecutive wins, including the recent Chevron Championship. Her points average of 12.42 is nearly double that of the second-ranked Lilia Vu, who has an average of 6.52 points. Korda’s dominance in the Rolex Rankings highlights her exceptional performance in recent tournaments.
