Gary Williams rolls out the Club 5 Power Rankings, presented by Peter Millar, as the PGA TOUR heads into a massive fortnight that runs through the Scottish Open and into the Open Championship. The rankings serve as a heat index for who is playing the best golf right now, with the winner earning bragging rights to Peter Millar’s windowpane walnut sport coat, the same jacket Scottie Scheffler claimed the last time he topped the club.
At number five is Aaron Rai, whose PGA Championship win back in early May changed his life and erased a level of anonymity he had compared to other winners. Rai has kept playing well since, finishing tied for 11th at the U.S. Open and going the whole season without missing a cut in a major, a distinction Gary stresses matters as the biggest weeks of the year approach. Chris Gotterup checks in at number four on the strength of three wins, including the Sony Open and the WM Phoenix Open, and a Sunday 62 last week that Gary says has him comfortably in the club. Matt Fitzpatrick sits at number three with three wins of his own, including a team event, seven top tens on the season, and a string of strong major championship results even though his U.S. Open finish fell short of his own expectations.
Scottie Scheffler holds down number two, and Gary lays out just how dominant his stretch has been, noting that Scheffler’s worst finish since March is a tie for 12th and that he has racked up four runner-up finishes in that span, including at the Masters and again two weeks ago at the Travelers Championship, giving him nine top four finishes in the period. But the top spot belongs to Wyndham Clark, who has posted two wins, a third, and a fifth across his last five starts. He is the only player in the club who has missed a cut in a major this year, but Gary says everything else has been so strong that it earns him a pass on the way to the number one ranking.
