Luke Donald played in the RBC Heritage this past weekend and recorded a T37 finish. Rory McIlory did not play on any tours during that time, yet has puzzlingly overtaken Luke Donald for the #1 spot in the world golf rankings once again.
It seems odd that a player can ascend, especially to the #1 ranking, when the player didn’t even play. That is how the odd math in the world golf ranking system works.
