Lahiri came in second place in the Players Championship 2022 after nearly missing out. He finished with 48 OWGR points, leaping 233 places from his prior position of 322 to the current level of 89.
Lahiri was last in the top 100 of the World Golf Rankings in 2018. The ace Indian golfer has won the most OWGR points in one event with 48. In 2015, he won the Maybank Malaysian Open with an OWGR of 38.
