Matthieu Pavon won the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open and made a huge jump in the Official World Golf Rankings (OGWR).
After the PGA Tour event last week, he was ranked 78, and according to a golf fan social media account, @VC606, he reached 34 in the world rankings after winning the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open. The OWGR hasn't made an update on Pavon's ranking at the time of writing this piece.
After winning the Farmers Insurance Open, Matthieu Pavon made history by becoming the first golfer from France to win on the PGA Tour. The victory earned him 500 FedEx Cup points and $1.6 million in prize money from the purse of $9 million.
Pavon finished with a score of 13-under after playing four rounds of 69, 65, 72 and 69 and clinched the trophy in his maiden PGA Tour event by a single stroke. Nicolai Hojgaard settled in second place and he too has reportedly made a huge jump in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Hojgaard was at 51 after last week's The American Express and per the aforementioned social media fan page, he reached number 30 in the Official World Golf Rankings with his runner-up finish at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open.
