Yoo Hae-ran (25, Daol Financial Group), who has now won a major on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour for the first time in her career, has climbed to world No. 7.
In the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings released on the 30th (Korean time), Yoo Hae-ran moved up five spots from last week's No. 12 to No. 7 with 6.04 ranking points.
She won the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, the third major of the LPGA Tour season, which concluded on the 29th, with a total score of 13-under-par 275.
After rising to a career-high No. 5 following her win at last year's Black Desert Championship, Yoo Hae-ran fell outside the top 10 due to a lack of victories, but her fourth career title has brought her to a position where she can aim for a new personal best in the world rankings.
Yoon In-a (23, Solare), who held a solo lead through the first two rounds but faded to finish as runner-up, also saw a significant rise in the rankings. She moved up five spots from last week's No. 22 to No. 17.
Kim Min-sol (20, Doosan Construction Weave), dubbed the 'Super Rookie,' who achieved her third win of the season at the Macallé Mona Yongpyong Open on the KLPGA Tour on the 28th, jumped four spots to No. 15.
As a result, Kim Min-sol has secured the highest ranking among players not competing on the LPGA Tour.
Kim Min-sol, who recorded three wins in 14 tournaments this season, is leading overwhelmingly in prize money rankings (963,091,428 won), award points (313 points), and rookie award points (1,434 points), challenging for the KLPGA Tour's grand slam of titles.
Park Hyun-kyung (26, Mediheal), who won unexpectedly as an invited player at the Earth Mondamin Cup on the JLPGA Tour, which concluded on the 29th, also jumped 14 spots from last week's No. 80 to No. 56.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda (USA) held firm. No. 2 was Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand), and No. 3 was Kim Hyo-joo (31, Lotte), with no changes.
Kim Sei-young (Sportate) held No. 10, while Choi Hye-jin (Lotte) dropped three spots to No. 20. Kim A-rim (Mediheal) was ranked No. 30, Im Jin-hee (Shinhan Financial Group) No. 34, LPGA Tour rookie Hwang Yu-min (Lotte) No. 38, Jeon In-ji (KB Financial Group) No. 39, Lee So-mi (Shinhan Financial Group) No. 41, Yoo Hyun-jo (Lotte) No. 44, and Seo Gyo-rim (Samcheonri) No. 48.
