Si Woo Kim makes biggest jump in Official World Golf Ranking for May 5

The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of May 5, 2026, with Scottie Scheffler still in the position of the planet's best player.

By virtue of a T-4 finish at the Cadillac Championship last weekend, Si Woo Kim made the biggest jump in the top 50, leaping from No. 25 to No. 20. Kim was also third at the RBC Heritage and had a T-10 finish at the Valero Texas Open. He's made the cut in every one of his 12 starts in 2026.

Si Woo Kim of South Korea plays his shot from the 12th tee during the third round of the Cadillac Championship 2026 at Trump National Doral Miami on May 02, 2026 in Doral, Florida.

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.
