The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of March 10, 2026, with Scottie Scheffler earning the title of the planet’s best player.
Collin Morikawa leapfrogged Justin Rose and now sits at No. 4 in the world, while Akshay Bhatia’s victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational saw him jump into the top 20.
The OWGR system is calculated by awarding points from eligible tours and events to participating players over a rolling two-year period. Players are ranked weekly based on the amount of points they earn divided by the number of events they played in to reach an average total. Points hold their full value for a 13-week period and are then reduced in equal decrements. The current ranking for the Top 50 golfers in the world appears below.
