Tyrrell Hatton surpasses $44M star as LIV Golf's No. 1 after Dubai Desert Classic win
Following his Hero Dubai Desert Classic triumph, Tyrrell Hatton surged into the top 10 of the OWGR. With the triumph, he surpassed Bryson DeChambeau to become the highest-ranked LIV Golf professional.
Hatton entered the Emirates Golf Club as World No. 17. However, he fired rounds of 71, 65, 68 and 69 over the next four days to finish at 15-under to secure a one-shot victory over Daniel Hillier, claiming his eighth European Tour title.
With the Hero Dubai Desert Classic win, Hatton jumped nine spots to eighth in the OWGR. As for DeChambeau, he's now 12th, slipping three spots.
The $44 million LIV Golf star hasn't played any ranking events since the Open Championship 2024. In that span, Tyrrell Hatton has won two titles on the DP World Tour, making significant moves in the OWGR.
