Andy Sullivan

Ranking/movement: +139 (No. 238 to No. 99)

Why the rise? Sullivan has had no trouble adapting to the European Tour since turning professional in 2011. The Walker Cup player didn’t take long to become a winner. Only 85 tournaments, to be precise.

Sullivan, 28, won the South African Open early this year, defeating 2011 Masters winner Charl Schwartzel in a playoff.
