| 2010 Power Rankings: Week 28 |
| RK(LW) | NAME | COMMENTS |
| 1(1) | Justin Rose | Spent last week resting and getting ready for the Open Championship. But after a pair of wins in his last three PGA Tour starts, Rose keeps the top spot in our ranking. |
| | Graeme McDowell
| |
| McDowell tied for 21st at the Scottish Open, thanks to a closing 4-over 75. Still, he rose a spot due to the previous No. 2’s performance in Scotland (see below). |
|
| | Phil Mickelson
| |
| Mickelson missed the cut at the Scottish Open, yet another missed opportunity to become the No. 1 player in the world. But it could turn out to be a good thing as he had a few extra days to practice on the Old Course. |
|
| | Lee Westwood
| |
| Westwood skipped the Scottish Open, but now gets another shot at that elusive first major. |
|
| | Steve Stricker
| |
Stricker picked up his first victory in five months thanks to an impressive title defense at the John Deere. As a result, he moves into the top 5 of our rankings,
|
|
| | Luke Donald
| |
| Took last week off, but still has eight top-15 finishes around the world this season, including a victory in Madrid in May. |
|
| | Jim Furyk
| |
| Bit of an uncharacteristic season for Furyk. Instead of being a consistent top-10 machine, he only has four in 14 starts this season. Two of those, however, are wins. |
|
| | Bo Van Pelt
| |
| Didn’t play the John Deere, but BVP has five top-10 finishes in his last nine starts on Tour. |
|
| | Ernie Els
| |
| Els has a pair of wins this year on the PGA Tour, but he continues to slide down our list thanks to another recent poor performance, this time a missed cut in Scotland. |
|
| | Jeff Overton
| |
Overton cracks the list for the first time despite withdrawing from the John Deere. In his last eight starts, he has four top-3 finishes.
