Jayden Schaper breaks into world’s top 50 after DP World Tour success
Story 3
South African golfer Jayden Schaper has climbed to a career-best 50th in the world rankings following a strong run on the DP World Tour.
Schaper secured back-to-back victories late last year, including his first professional win on home soil, and followed that up with another title in Mauritius. His form has continued into 2026, with a top-four finish at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
The ranking places Schaper just ten spots outside qualification for the Masters as he looks to build on his momentum this season.
