Rickie Fowler's World Ranking after Masters 2023 explored
Rickie Fowler has slipped three spots down to World No. 58 in the latest ranking update after the 2023 Masters. Notably, Fowler fell short of making it to the 2023 Masters field as he was just outside the top 50.
After a slump in recent years, Fowler has brought consistency to his game this season. Improvements are visible in the rankings as well considering the 2016 Players Championship winner was World No. 103 at the start of 2023 and reached as high as World No. 55 this year.
Fowler has made it into the top 25 of eight events out of 12 starts this season, including one runner-up finish. Last year, he could make only one top-10 finish and missed nine cuts in 22 starts. We can safely say that breaching the top 50 isn't far from the improved Fowler.
Jon Rahm returns to World No. 1 after Masters win
Jon Rahm returned to the World No. 1 position in OWGR after claiming the 2023 Masters last Sunday. The top ranking has been shuffled between Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler this year with new changes after every result.
While Rory was World No. 1 at the start of the year, Scheffler snatched it from him in February, followed by Rahm displacing him. This continued in March as well, with Scheffler returning at the top with a Players Championship win and now the Spaniard again returning to numero uno.
