Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) – There was not much change to the men’s world rankings as there were just two changes inside the top 20 this week.<\/p>\n
Rory McIlroy finished the year as the No. 1 ranked player as he holds a comfortable lead atop the rankings.<\/p>\n
Henrik Stenson, Adam Scott and Bubba Watson all stayed put as Nos. 2-4. The lone change to the top 10 saw Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose swap spots, with Garcia moving up one to No. 5.<\/p>\n
Jim Furyk, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Martin Kaymer all remained the same at Nos. 7 through 12. FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel exchanged places with Phil Mickelson, moving Horschel up one to No. 13 and Mickelson down a spot to No. 14.<\/p>\n
Graeme McDowell, Hideki Matsuyama, Victor Dubuisson, Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson and Chris Kirk rounded out the top 20 once again from No. 15.<\/p>\n
With this being the final world ranking for 2014, several players earned invitations to the 2015 Masters for ending this season in the top-50 in the rankings. Among that group were Joost Luiten, Stephen Gallacher, Shane Lowry, Mikko Ilonen and Danny Willett, who moved from 51 to 50 this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
