Scottie Scheffler looks to reclaim world No. 1, calls OWGR system 'flawed'

NASSAU, Bahamas – The “flawed” OWGR system might work in Scottie Scheffler’s favor with the Masters champion poised to reclaim the top spot in the world ranking this week, but that doesn’t make the ranking any less flawed.

Following a second-round 68 that moved him into a tie for second at the Hero World Challenge, Scheffler joined the chorus of players who have criticized the new system used by the ranking.

“I understand that they got away from the minimums for every tour, which I think made a lot of sense. I think now I would say the top players are not bringing as much weight to events as they should,” said Scheffler, who needs to win the Hero World Challenge to overtake Rory McIlroy at No.
