SI World Golf Rankings: Nick Taylor Celebrates For All of Canada

Canada's Nick Taylor ended the nation's 69-year drought at the RBC Canadian Open. See how high he climbed in this week's SI World Golf Rankings.

Nick Taylor has had the look of a rising star for a while, but with his dramatic playoff win at the RBC Canadian Open, he's fully arrived. The new Sports Illustrated World Golf Rankings have Taylor up 20 spots this week to No. 31 in the world. (He’s 44th in the Official World Golf Rankings.) The SIWGR is our data-driven list of the best men’s players in the game today, and among the differences between our list and the OWGR, we use the most recent 12 months of player results, rather than the OWGR’s 24. Here’s how we do the calculations.

Taylor wasn’t the only player to make a big move in Canada, but the week ahead should have a big impact on our list, as the SIWGR awards extra points for major championship performances. The U.S. Open at L.A. Country Club should be a good one.

Here are some notable risers and fallers on the SI World Golf Rankings.
