Adrian Meronk will tee up his 2024 PGA Tour campaign this week at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, California.
Having finished runner-up to Rory McIlroy at the HERO Dubai Desert Classic and with that, moving up to No. 2 in the Race to Dubai Rankings
and 39th in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), Meronk flew out of Dubai International Airport and across the Atlantic to take up his PGA Tour privileges.
It is the Pole’s highest OWGR position having hovered around 50 all last year.
