At the moment, in terms of the world golf ranking points, and the ratings can be found at www.officialworldgolfranking.com, nine of the top 100 players in the world are South African. That is a singular achievement for a small country to have such an unbelievable amount of people on the top 100 in the world, particularly in a sport which, unlike rugby for example, is played all around the world. The whole of Asia for example has only four players in the top 100 and Australia has 8.
The leading South African is still Charl Schwartzel, followed by Louis Oosthuizen and then Retief Goosen. Ernie Els has been slipping down and is now 65th in the world, followed closely by George Coetzee. This year, new sensation, Branden Grace, has entered the world rankings at 94th spot, after two back-to-back victories early in the year and no doubt he will improve on that 94th position. Currently sitting outside the top 100 would be top South African players like Tim Clark who won the Players Championship as well as Trevor Immelman who won the Masters a few years ago.

Although (and it always a shame) some South African golfers are in the decline, I am sure in the near future a lot more will be popping onto the radar. Golf is a one of a kind sport and i think it can only advance in our country.
Having more Top 100 players (even if just by 1) than Australia in any sporting category is amazing enough.
