Men's PGA world rankings: Who is world No1?

1. Scottie Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler's dominant position at the top of the world rankings is only increasing a dominant performance at The Open saw him win his second successive Major, taking his average to 19.76 points.

His consistent performances, including a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and multiple PGA Tour victories, underscore his status as the world's leading golfer.

2. Rory McIlroy

McIlroy holds the second spot with an average of 11.22 points after a top-seven finish at Royal Portrush.

His recent triumph at the Masters completed his Career Grand Slam but has failed to follow up that success at the three Majors since.

3. Xander Shauffele

With an average of 7 points, Xander Schauffele remains a formidable presence in the top three. His victory at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon solidified his reputation as a major contender.

The American finished level with McIlroy in seventh at The Open and is a consistent top-10 finishers at Majors.

4. Justin Thomas

Justin Thomas has risen into the top five courtesy of his victory at the RBC Heritage which leaves him on an average of 6.3 points.

The emotional victory at Harbour Town Golf Links has catapulted the American back into contention for the Major honours and continues a strong run of form in 2025.

5. Russell Henley

Russell Henley has quietly put together a stellar season, climbing from outside the top 30 into the top 10.

Known for his precision approach shots and steely putting, he’s emerging as one of 2025’s most reliable performers with an average of 5.89 so far.

6. Collin Morikawa

Collin Morikawa has slipped outside the top five after failing to make the cut at The Open.

His consistent top-10 finishes and a runner-up position at the 2024 Tour Championship mean he remains a name to watch.

7. Harris English

Harris English has flown into the top 10 after his brilliant second-place finish at The Open.

The American also finished in the T2 at the PGA Championship and is now being talked up for a place in Team USA's Ryder Cup team after an impressive 2025 so far.

8. J.J. Spaun

J.J. Spaun's extraordinary victory at the US Open has catapulted him into the limelight and indeed the top 10, with his average currently 4.77.

The American's previous best effort at a Major was finishing 35th at the 2018 PGA Championship but he negotiated the notoriously difficult Oakmont course, sealing the deal with a long-range put on the 18th hole to seal a memorable win.

9. Ludvig Aberg

Ludwig Aberg, with an average of 4.74 points, continues to impress in his early professional career but has slipped just outside the top 10.

The Swedish sensation's three runner-up finishes in 2024, including at the Masters, have demonstrated his potential to break through with a Major victory this year and the 25-year-old's top-10 finish at The Masters show he is set to remain a contender.

Aberg's strong form bodes well for Team Europe's hopes of defending the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York in September.

10. Keegan Bradley

Keegan Bradley’s victory at the 2025 Travelers Championship vaulted him to a career-high 7th in the world rankings, reaffirming his resurgence on the PGA Tour.

The American's steady performances see him sitting on an average of 4.72 midway through the year.

11. Sepp Straka

The Austrian has taken a major leap this year, with multiple podium finishes and two tournament wins taking his average to 4.81.

His game is trending upward, and he’s proven he can compete with - and beat - the game’s elite under pressure.

Why aren't there many LIV Golfers included in this list?

LIV Golf players, including Bryson De Chambeau and John Rahm, struggle to compete with PGA golfers in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) because their league's format and structure don't meet the OWGR's criteria for awarding ranking points.

Who are the current holders of the Majors titles?

Scottie Scheffler currently holds the PGA Championship and The Open titles. J.J. Spaun is the current US Open champion, with Rory McIlroy winning the most recent Masters.
