Andrew Landry (USA), the 'American Express Champ,' soared 133 spots in the world rankings. He earned 1.45 points in the weekly official golf world rankings announced on the afternoon of the 20th (Korean time).

The 'Returned Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods (USA) is in 6th place. The '46-year-old veteran' Lee Westwood (England) jumped from 63rd to 29th, propelled by his victory at the European Tour Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
