Big moves in the world of golf this week as the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) dropped its latest update on May 5, 2026. While Scottie Scheffler continues to hold the top spot as the planet's best player, it's Si Woo Kim who's making headlines with the biggest leap inside the top 50.

Kim surged five spots from No. 25 to No. 20, thanks to a stellar T-4 finish at the Cadillac Championship. That impressive result follows a strong stretch of form—he was third at the RBC Heritage and notched a T-10 finish at the Valero Texas Open. Perhaps most remarkably, Kim has made the cut in every single one of his 12 starts this season, proving consistency is the name of the game.

For those following the rankings, here's a quick refresher: The OWGR system awards points from eligible tours and events over a rolling two-year period. Players are ranked weekly based on their average points per event. Points hold full value for 13 weeks, then gradually decrease. Eligible tournaments include major championships like The Open, Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and PGA Championship, as well as the Olympic Games.

Whether you're tracking your favorite golfer's climb or just love the sport, these rankings give us a snapshot of who's dominating the fairways. Stay tuned—with Kim on fire and Scheffler holding steady, the leaderboard promises more excitement ahead.
