Four months into 2023 and we’ve already seen the world No. 1 title pass between three guys on four different occasions.
The undisputed Big 3— Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy — have been playing musical chairs since February 12, when Scheffler took the top spot from McIlroy for the first switcheroo of the year. Now, Rahm is back on top for the second time this year after his Masters win.
It was a fitting exchange to see Scheffler, the 2022 Masters champion, put the green jacket on Rahm on Sunday evening – a moment that was also symbolic of the passing of the coveted world ranking crown from one player to another.
