Kotone Hori

Has made a rapid rise up the Rolex World Rankings with her play on the Japanese PGA Tour.

She ended 2020 in 733rd place, having played a mere seven tournaments during the year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but by the end of last year – when she played no fewer than 31 events – she was up to 133rd and after a run of second, first, fifth and second this spring had made it into the top 75. Her sixth place finish on last season’s money list was easily her best.
