First-time DP World Tour winner surpasses Cameron Smith to earn career-best ranking

Adrien Saddier has made a major jump in the rankings, surpassing the likes of Cameron Smith following his Italian Open 2025 win. The Frenchman jumped 72 spots after claiming his breakthrough DP World Tour title last Sunday.

On Sunday, June 29, Saddier rallied from behind to win the DP World Tour Italian Open 2025. He fired a low 4-under 66 in the final round to beat Martin Couvra by a two-stroke margin.

The Italian Open win helped Saddier rise from 209th to 109th in the Official World Golf Ranking, surpassing multiple-time winner Cameron Smith. The star Australian golfer was in action at LIV Golf Dallas last week and tied for 13th but slipped to 189th in the OWGR.
