The former No. 1-ranked player and four-time
major champion has missed eight weeks while recovering from a
lingering knee injury. Koepka, who ended each of the past two
years atop the world rankings, now sits at No. 11 entering this
week's CJ Cup @ Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.
With his victory at the BMW PGA Championship on the European
Tour on Sunday, England's Tyrrell Hatton rose five spots to
enter the top 10 for the first time in his career. He's the 10th
English player to reach the top 10.
Dustin Johnson remains No. 1, followed by Spain's Jon Rahm,
Justin Thomas, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and Bryson
DeChambeau. DeChambeau leapfrogged Collin Morikawa with his T8
at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas on
Sunday, where Morikawa missed the cut.
Webb Simpson remained No. 7, followed by Xander Schauffele,
Patrick Reed and Hatton. Matthew Wolff finished second for the
third time this year on Sunday at TPC Summerlin, but still rose
six spots to a career-high 12th.
Tiger Woods, who will make his first start next week since
missing the cut at the U.S. Open, dropped another two spots to
No. 26.
Scotland's Martin Laird was by far the biggest mover in this
week's rankings, rising 263 spots to No. 88 with his playoff win
at TPC Summerlin.
