As he battles Spain's Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler for the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking, Rory McIlroy made it clear that he's more concerned about what that coveted position is doing to grow the game rather than how it's improving his own stock."Look, as much as it's really nice to be ranked No.
1, winning golf tournaments, playing well, it sort of takes care of all of that stuff," McIlroy said. "So I think it's really exciting.
If I was purely a fan of the game and I see what's going on, especially at the top, I think it's a pretty cool thing."The run that (Rahm) has been on has been phenomenal.
Obviously what Scottie did last year. I've had a nice little run over the last sort of 12 months."Rahm currently holds the top spot in the OWGR, while Scheffler sits in second and McIlroy comes in at third.
