Strakas promotion in the world rankings

With this triumphal result, he now has a total of four victories on the tour. In addition, Straka reached the top ten in the world rankings for the first time and holds this place, which means that he is one of only four players on the tour who could win more than one victory this year.

Scottie Scheffler, who won the Memorial Tournament last year and recently won his third major title at the 2025 PGA Championship, is again a favorite this season. Scheffler, who competes with Rory McIlroy and Stephan Jäger, has further expanded his leadership in the FedExcup classification, while Straka is still represented in the top three of the rating. McIlroy, who has been second in second place, was missing in Dublin and leaves space for emerging talents such as Straka.
