The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of April 28, 2026, with Scottie Scheffler remaining in the top spot.
But while Scheffler is still atop the ranking, a fellow University of Texas star snuck back into a familiar place inside the top 50.

Jordan Spieth, who has four top-15 finishes in 10 tournaments this season, has re-entered the list at No. 50. Spieth, who has a total of 26 weeks at No. 1 in the world on his resume, has missed just one cut during the 2026 season and finished T-12 at the Masters. Spieth hasn’t been in the top 50 since last summer after the Open Championship, when he sat at No. 49.
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.
