OWGR: No. 1 up for grabs at Genesis; Tiger Woods could make big jump

Scottie Scheffler's return to world No. 1 could potentially be a short one.

That's because the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking, which Scheffler took back for the first time since last October with a win Sunday at the WM Phoenix Open, will again be up for grabs this week at the Genesis Invitational. World Nos. 2 and 3, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm, each have chances to bump Scheffler from No. 1.

Nick Taylor, fresh off his runner-up finish at TPC Scottsdale, took a big leap, from No. 223 to No. 73, a career-best mark for the Canadian.
