Tommy Fleetwood and Xander Schauffele wrapped up an exciting week in the Skins Game at Panther National. But the rankings have just revealed that their performances have had an interesting impact off the course. As the latest Official World Golf Ranking update rolled in, the two stars found themselves trading positions. And guess what? The English golfer made a record that he had not achieved before in his career.

Fleetwood, who has been steadily building momentum, climbed up to third in the world rankings. And this ranking marks his career best in the official World Golf Ranking. He has been showing his grit and caliber throughout this season and has managed to pull off some magnificent performances on the fairways. And the Skins Game last week only added another spark to his growing form.

He is just behind Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy and has already left Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, J.J. Spaun, and others behind. At the end of the previous year, Fleetwood was positioned in the 9th rank. And last week, the third position was being ruled by American icon Xander Schauffele. 

Meanwhile, Schauffele slipped one spot to fourth. Despite latching on to his rank and exhibiting sublime performance in 2025, he was pushed down to number 4. Schauffele ended the last year in the second rank.

This is a developing story…
