Rory McIlroy: Four-time major winner to return to world number one
Rory McIlroy will replace Brooks Koepka as world number one despite not playing this week.
The four-time major winner from Northern Ireland will leapfrog Koepka when the rankings are updated following this week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM.
Koepka and world number three Jon Rahm are also missing the event and the two-year rolling format of the ranking system will see McIlroy go top.
McIlroy will be back as world number one for the first time since 2015.
- McIlroy says he will play 'carefree' golf in 2020
- Experience at Royal Portrush was a 'turning point' for McIlroy
- McIlroy says he is a victim of his own success
The complicated nature of the ranking system will push the 30-year-old up from 0.2 points behind Koepka to three-hundredths of a point in front.
McIlroy said last month that returning to world number one would "take care of itself".
