Did Scottie Scheffler reclaim the World No. 1 spot from Jon Rahm? Full OWGR rankings after the PGA Championship 2023 explored

Scottie Scheffler topped the Officials World Golf Rankings after finishing second at the 2023 PGA Championship. He finished two strokes behind the leader Brooks Koepka.

The American golfer reclaimed the top position in the world rankings with an average score of 10.9672. Jon Rahm slipped down to second position in OWGR followed by Rory McIlroy.

Scottie Scheffler got 7-under for the week but missed an opportunity to win the major tournament. However, he clinched the top position in the world rankings.

In an interview with the media, Scheffler spoke about the ranking algorithm and said:

“That's great. I mean, it's just an algorithm. It's nice, but I really don't care.”

Scheffler opened up about his performance and said:

“I played solid golf most of the week. In order to win these tournaments, the putts have to fall in to win the tournaments. I hit a lot of good putts this week. They didn't fall, but I put up a good fight. I played great today."

"I gave the guys on top of the leaderboard something to think about, and I kind of made a little bit of a move, but Brooks just played some fantastic golf this week. He played too good this weekend for me to catch up to him.”

Scottie Scheffler went on to speak about his world ranking and said:

“I don't play for world ranking. I play to come out here and compete. Right now I'm a little sad that I wasn't able to get the tournament done, but I'm proud of how I fought, I'm proud of how I played the back nine today to give myself a chance. I got beat by somebody that played better this week, and tip of the cap to Brooks. Yeah, it's just how it goes.”

Jon Rahm is just a few points behind Scottie Scheffler and can reclaim the top rankings as the third major of the year is around the corner.
