Adam Scott's victory Sunday at the Genesis Invitational ended multiple droughts. Yes, it was his first PGA Tour victory in nearly four years, but it also signaled Scott's return to the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time since 2017.
Scott moved from 14th to seventh in the latest rankings with his two-shot win at Riviera. It's the first time he's been inside the top 10 since he was 10th in May 2017 and marks his highest ranking since he was sixth in the world in November 2016. The former Masters champ entered a slump shortly thereafter, dropping as far as 82nd in the rankings in July 2018, but has been on the rebound ever since.
