Former LIV Golf player enters top 50 rankings for the first time

The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of October 13, 2026, and, of course, Scottie Scheffler still holds the title of the planet's best player. But a former LIV Golf player has climbed into the top 50, marking his highest-ever ranking.

Chacarra moved up five spots to No.
