It's been a wild four weeks since theScore released our last PGA Tour Power Rankings. Two majors, a world golf championship, and the Canadian Open have been contested since then and as a result, there's been a reshuffling among the world's best. Taking wins, consistency, and strokes gained into consideration, here are how the top 10 golfers shake out.
*Change from last month's rank in parentheses.
1. Dustin Johnson (-)
Sure, the World No. 1 ranked golfer missed the cut at the Open Championship, but he rebounded by destroying a solid field in Canada. Johnson finished in a tie for third at the WGC-Bridgestone and leads the Tour in FedEx Cup points thanks to three wins in 2018.
2. Justin Thomas (-)
Thomas is another star who didn't play the weekend at Carnoustie but has since won an event. His WGC-Bridgestone victory is his third this season, one of three players hit that mark. He was in the hunt at the PGA Championship and turned in a respectable T-6 showing.
3. Brooks Koepka (+3)
Koepka's career is shaping up to be something extremely unique and remarkable. Three of his four PGA Tour wins are majors, and he joins Tiger Woods, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same season. Brooks is a big-game hunter and should be the favorite to win every tournament he plays in, especially majors.
4. Justin Rose (-1)
Rose only played two tournaments since the last rankings, finishing tied for second at The Open and tied for 19th at the PGA Championship. His slide down one spot in the rankings is no shot at him, rather it simply makes room for Koepka.
5. Jon Rahm (-1)
Rahm's struggles at major championships may be turning around with his top-five result at Bellerive. He showed incredible composure all week despite putting terribly. Dating back to the Masters, Rahm has six top-five showings in 10 tournaments played.
6. Jason Day (-1)
Already with two wins this season, Day continued his strong play over the past four weeks with three top-20 results in marquee events. He was in the mix at both recent majors and has missed only one cut since June 2017. Day is the best putter on the planet and shows no signs of slowing down.
7. Rory McIlroy (-)
Rory finished among the runners-up at The Open and tied for sixth at WGC-Bridgestone but his disappointing PGA Championship remains fresh in people's minds. He struggled mightily with his irons at Bellerive but it was the only issue in his game. There's no concern with McIlroy's play moving forward - expect him to show up at the all-important Ryder Cup.
8. Tiger Woods (NR)
Tiger makes a splash inside the top 10 after turning in outstanding performances at the season's last two majors. There's no doubt Tiger is back and is ready to win on golf's biggest stages. He still needs to straighten out his driver and clean up his putting a bit, but Woods' elite iron play will put him in the winner's circle sooner rather than later.
9. Francesco Molinari (NR)
Molinari is perhaps the season's biggest surprise and the hottest player in the world. Since the last weekend of May, the Italian has three wins worldwide including The Open as well as two runner-ups and a T-6 result at the PGA Championship.
10. Jordan Spieth (-1)
Spieth still lingers in the top-10 rankings due to name value alone. It's tough to knock the former No. 1 ranked player off the list entirely, especially when he's finished inside the top 15 at three of the four majors this year. The remainder of this season will be extremely important for Spieth as he will play a huge roll in September's Ryder Cup.
