Ariya Jutanugarn will replace Lydia Ko as the new No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings with Sunday’s conclusion of the ShopRite Classic, according to LPGA projections.
It became official Saturday when Rolex No. 3 So Yeon Ryu missed the cut at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club outside Atlantic City, N.J.
No scenario Sunday allows for Ko to remain at No. 1 as she continues to lose points off the two-year rolling window used to measure Rolex rankings.
Jutanugarn, 21, will become the 10th player to hold the No.
