The
purpose of our Top 5 is to give a more up-to-date, short-term
ranking than the Official World rankings. Our rankings are
more in the spirit of the college football polls, which attempt to
give a snapshot rating at a given point in time; and are designed to either recognize those who are actually
playing the best golf, or those we feel have the
best chance to win the next time they tee it up.
*Although
unranked in our last rating before the British Open, Vijay
Singh is now ranked at #2 because he did not use an
elongated putter in his last event. Preserve Golf does not
recognize players who use elongated putters in its rankings.
