The Official World Golf Ranking has found itself at the centre of conversation in recent years, and the system now has a new chairman in former Masters champion Trevor Immelman

Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman has been appointed to succeed Peter Dawson as chairman of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). The South African, who landed his Green Jacker in 2008, will take over from Dawson, who has held the role since 2016, during this year’s Masters.

Trevor Immelman, the 2008 Masters champion and current golf broadcast analyst, will take over as chair of the Official World Golf Ranking on April 10, its board announced Tuesday. The OWGR said in a news release that the South African will continue in his role as lead golf analyst at CBS,
