Bernhard Langer

3 weeks

Langer held the top spot for three weeks but his real distinction here is that he was the very first golfer to be ranked No. 1 when the OWGR launched in 1986. Langer was coming off a 1985 Masters victory, his first of two majors. He would win again at Augusta National in 1993.
