The latest update to the Official World Golf Ranking is here. These are the top 50 players in the world.
The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of May 12, 2026, with Scottie Scheffler still the planet's best player. Collin Morikawa jumped back into the top 5 in this week's ranking after Justin Rose dropped to No. 7.

Fowler hasn't been in the top 50 since the Travelers Championship in 2024. The OWGR system is calculated by awarding points from eligible tours and events to participating players over a rolling two-year period. Players are ranked weekly based on the amount of points they earn divided by the number of events they played in to reach an average total.
Points hold their full value for a 13-week period and are then reduced in equal decrements. The current ranking for the Top 50 golfers in the world appears below. See the full ranking here Official World Golf Ranking Top 50 for May 12, 2026 Ranking is accurate as of Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 5:13 a.
