KILDEER, Ill. – The Rolex world No. 1 ranking is up for grabs with five players having a chance to leave the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with the top ranking at week’s end.
Inbee Park will be looking to extend her current reign atop the rankings to an 11th consecutive week, but No. 2 Ariya Jutanugarn, No. 3 Lexi Thompson, No. 4 Shanshan Feng and No. 5 So Yeon Ryu each have a chance to take it from her.
Jutanugarn and Thompson can ascend to No. 1 with a victory or a second-place finish, depending on what Park does.
Feng and Ryu must win to move to No. 1.
