With his win at the Italian Open on Sunday, Molinari moved from 65th to 43rd in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Top-50 status grants a player access to the top events in golf at different points throughout the year. Molinari, for example, is now eligible for the season's first World Golf Championship, the HSBC Champions from Oct. 27-30 in China.
The runner-up in Italy, Masters champ Danny Willett re-entered the top 10, bumping gold-medal winner Justin Rose to 11th.
