How many OWGR spots did Taylor Pendrith jump after The CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024 win? Ranking explored

Following his maiden PGA Tour win at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024, Taylor Pendrith has broken into the top 100 in the latest OWGR update. He has made a 49-spot jump in the Official World Golf Rankings to reach 58th place. This is also his best-ever ranking so far.

Taylor Pendrith was ranked 107th in the world before entering the TPC Craig Ranch and was +9000 to win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Oddsmakers had placed their bet on the likes of Jordan Spieth and Jason Day, who were +1200 and +1800, respectively, for the week.

Pendrith started the season as World No. 102 and had jumped to 86th in OWGR by the third start of the year, courtesy of two top-10s. However, he ended up missing four straight cuts, and that resulted in him slipping to 100th. So far, his season has been on the extreme. He has missed six cuts in 12 starts but has also made five top-25s, including the win at the TPC Craig Ranch.

The CJ Cup Byron Nelson has ensured Pendrith a spot at the Wells Fargo Championship, the 70-player field signature event. He will have a chance to make a big paycheck at the Quail Hollow Club this week.
