Schauffele, who now has the highest ranking of
his career, bumped Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland to the third
spot while Scottie Scheffler remained at No. 1.
The 30-year-old DeChambeau, who plays for LIV Golf, leapt 89
spots from 124th to 35th in the world.
Because golfers do not earn ranking points for LIV events,
DeChambeau began the year at No. 155 and was No. 210 before he
tied for sixth at the Masters.
With their strong performances at the PGA, Thomas Detry of
Belgium and Justin Rose of England moved into the top 60 and
earned spots in the next major, the U.S. Open, which will be
held June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, N.C.
Detry rose from 71st to 54th after tying for fourth, while
Rose's T-6 moved him from 68th to 56th. Rose won the 2013 U.S.
Open at Merion, but his 10-year exemption expired after last
year's championship.
Players who crack the Top 60 following the Memorial Tournament
(June 6-9 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio) can
earn their spots at the U.S. Open.
