Neither Rory McIlroy nor No. 1-ranked Brooks Koepka is expected to play in a tournament this week, but McIlroy still will move past Koepka and into the top spot in the world rankings anyway.

Points for the world rankings are accumulated over a two-year stretch and Koepka will end up losing more points this week because he missed time with injuries both in 2018 and late in 2019.
