I feel like the World number 2 should have more than zero major wins in the last 11 years.

I think Scottie, Morikawa, Rahm, and Bryson are the current top 4.

This is just a horrible take. You fall under the new opinion that nothing matters but majors. Morikawa hasn’t had a win in what? 2 years? The other tournaments matter and Rory wins a lot of them.

Datagolf is a better representation of the rankings of golfers & current form.

Aberg moved up to 11 after this weekend.

I really like this approach to the game and pace of play. Kinda fun to watch a guy just stand up to the ball and hit it. And he does it well.

He is world #2 right now imo.


Just confirms that even with the win, the OP's post was valid.

45th, Cut and T7 in anything that actually mattered last year.

I bet you think Wyndham Clark is the 7th best golfer in the world too, huh?

What either you believe Datagolf is accurate or OWGR is, which one is it?

Datagolf:
#4 Rahm
#11 Aberg
#50 Clark

OWGR
#4 Aberg
#7 Clark
#52 Rahm

He had 8 top 10s last year.

Won Pebble, 2nd at Arnie, T2 at Players and 3rd at the RBC.

Say what you want about him, and I’m one of his biggest critics but his last 18 months kicks the shite out Rahms.

Not really comparable & doesn’t mean he is currently a better golfer than Rahm

Not really comparable?

You mean to Rahms current 56 hole weekend exploits where he is paid guaranteed money, that have less pressure and viewers than TGL and similar crowds?

Rahm has been a bum for almost 2 years.

Outside of LIV he’s finished top 10 in 5 of his last 6 OWGR events. You clearly don’t like the data though

He’s still the 4th best golfer in the world, you can simply say “top 10”, but absolutely not a bum
