Rory McIlroy gets immediate chance to reclaim world No.1 spot after four-month reign ends

Golf star Rory McIlroy will get a chance to regain golf’s top spot in double quick time.

The 33-year-old was enjoying life as the number one player in the world, but after four months, Scottie Scheffler has snatched it from his clutches. However, McIlroy’s golden opportunity to regain the ranking will come as early as later this week at the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles.

The golf star will return to the summit of the world rankings with a top three finish at the California-based event. The tournament will feature icon Tiger Woods, who will be making his first competitive appearance since last year’s Open Championship.
