Report: Murray to keep OWGR until after Travelers
**Murray to Keep OWGR Ranking Until After Travelers**
According to a report by Golfweek, the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) will not update its rankings until after the Travelers Championship, which is scheduled to be played from June 22-25. This means that world number one Scottie Scheffler will remain at the top of the rankings for at least another week, even if he does not play in the Travelers Championship.
The OWGR is a system that ranks the world’s top golfers based on their recent performances. The rankings are updated every week, but there are certain weeks when the rankings are not updated, such as the weeks of the major championships. The Travelers Championship is not a major championship, but it is a PGA Tour event, and it is one of the most prestigious events on the schedule.
