On the back of a tie for 11th at the flagship BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour, Min Woo Lee had a share of the lead entering the final round of the FedEx Open de France.

Although he fell short of a second win in 2025, the 27-year-old’s tie for fifth was enough to earn re-entry to this week’s Power Rankings.

A couple of months out from his 31st birthday, Travis Smyth improved his ranking with a tie for seventh on the Asian Tour but it was a trio of 20-somethings who flew the Aussie flag highest throughout Europe.

Elvis Smylie added to his growing status as the next big star of Australian golf with a tie for second in Paris, Maddison Hinson-Tolchard enjoyed her best finish in her rookie season on the Ladies European Tour and Justice Bosio collected the third runner-up finish of her debut year on the LET Access Series.
