The first week of the 2015-16 PGA Tour season has come and gone, and
with it came plenty of movement in the Official World Golf Ranking.
That's despite the fact that many of the involved parties did not play.
Most notably is the ever-evolving situation at No. 1, where Jason Day now holds control, moving up from No. 2 to displace Jordan Spieth. Day also is No. 1 in the Golfweek/Sagarin Pro Rankings, with Spieth and Henrik Stenson at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.
Matt Kuchar also made a nice move near the top of the OWGR list, advancing from 16th to 13th after winning at PGA Tour Australasia's Fiji International.
The weekend's two big winners advanced into the top 50. Emiliano Grillo, who triumphed at the Frys.com Open in a play-off over Kevin Na, rose from 72nd to 36th. Andy Sullivan, who won the European Tour's Portugal Masters, moved from 66th to 47th.
Na made a nice move himself, advancing nine spots, to No. 24, after nearly losing in a playoff.
A couple of rising stars on their respective tours inched closer to the top 50, with Chris Wood, the runner-up in Portugal, going from 76th to 65th, and Justin Thomas, who tied for third at Frys, moving from 75th to 62nd.
Tiger Woods dropped in the ranking, going from No. 321 to 334. He ended 2014 at No. 32 in the ranking.
Here's a look at the top 10:
