Projected #OlympicGolf qualification standings for men's golf #Paris2024 , as of 15-Apr-2024 (based on the projected #OWGR for 17 June, 2024)

Only one notable change this week: max homa is back in for #TeamUSA replacing Harman...

Mis-stat of the day

The old 'average points' part in #OWGR went up for Scottie, as expected after winning #themasters , from 11.86 to 13.99!

The newer 'performance points' part did the opposite. Before the Masters he was worth 22.65p, after winning it, he's worth less: 22.45!🤦‍♂️

Yeah, Olie deserved a mention for sure after that T45 finish. He jumped a mind boggling 3207 places, from #4237 to #1030! #OWGR #themasters

He moved up 175 places, to #784 #OWGR

#OWGR projection for week #16

Heritage @ ~65/69p
Puntacana @ ~25/29p

Xander, Clark could reach #2
Aberg, Cantlay #3
Homa #6
Harman, Tommy, Collin, Fitz, Young, Hideki, Sahith, Henley, Keegan, Spieth, Day #8
Pavon, Tom Kim, WillZ #9
Kirk #10

It's a tough question, yet has somewhat a simple answer. Rory (or any other aspiring No.1) will have to do what Scottie has done: win consistently and win big. As a reference, to catch him, Rory would need to win 3 majors plus some extra (with Scottie taking a long break). #OWGR

Close call, but I think he might...

🚨Stat of the day

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, wins #themasters and will be now ~6.3 average points ahead of #2 in the world rankings!

That is the highest gap at the top of the world rankings for anyone other that Tiger Woods (since reasonable #OWGR comparisons are possible).
