OWGR Week 20: Scheffler holds, McIlroy steady at No. 2, Morikawa climbs

By Theo Krüger ·

The OWGR top-five for week 20 of the 2026 season is unchanged at the top, with Scottie Scheffler (14.21 average points) extending his run as world number one to 159 consecutive weeks. Rory McIlroy (9.84) holds second, his highest sustained position since the post-2014 stretch that ended in late 2015.

The biggest mover inside the top 20 is Collin Morikawa, who climbed from No. 5 to No. 4 after a solo runner-up at the Wells Fargo. Ludvig Åberg slipped one spot to No. 5 — his Wells Fargo missed cut was the first of his career on the PGA Tour.

Further down, Cameron Smith returned to the OWGR top-30 for the first time since his move to LIV in 2022. The OWGR’s revised LIV-event weighting, in place since the start of the 2025 season, has restored Smith, Jon Rahm and Joaquín Niemann to ranking-points eligibility on a per-event basis.

Full ranking is available in the Rankings section. The next snapshot is published Monday 19 May after the PGA Championship final round.
