The newest edition of the Rolex Rankings are out following Nelly Korda’s dominant win at the Chevron Championship. Here are some of the biggest changes:
- For the first time since August, there is a new No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings, as Nelly Korda jumped Jeeno Thitikul to reclaim the spot she held for over a year from 2024-mid 2025. It is a real testament to Korda’s incredible play as Thitikul built up a huge lead around the end of the 2025 season. Korda has played in five LPGA Tour events and hasn’t finished lower than runner up.
- Thitikul, on the other hand, hasn’t had a top-10 finish in her last five events. This is Thitikul’s longest streak without a top-10 finish since she became a full-time member of the LPGA Tour in 2022.
- Ruoning Yin’s runner-up finish at The Chevron Championship moved her up three spots to No. 8 in the world.
- Patty Tavatanakit was the biggest mover, jumping 41 spots to get to No. 25 in the rankings. This is the highest Tavatanakit has been ranked since April of 2025.
- Gaby Lópex continues her rise up the rankings. She has quietly been in really excellent form dating back to the Asian swing last year. She was ranked outside the top 75 in 2025, and even without a win, she has worked her way to No. 27.
- Ina Yoon moved into the top 40, going up 14 spots after two solid performances in a row in Los Angeles and Houston.
- Yan Liu had her best finish in almost a year, finishing fourth at the Chevron Championship, which resulted in her moving 38 spots to No. 51 in the rankings.
- Lilia Vu moved down eight more spots to No. 81 in the rankings. At this time last season, she was ranked in the top five. It has been a shocking and fast fall for the former No. 1 in the world who has dealt with injury issues and poor play as of late.
- Lexi Thompson jumped 23 spots back into the top 100 in the world at No. 93.
