Read All About It! New LPGA Rankings Out

Here are the top 5s from the various ways people seem to like to keep track of who the top LPGA golfers are. My next Best of the LPGA isn't coming out for a month, so draw your own conclusions. Just keep in mind that the Rolex Rankings draw from the largest number of pro tours and the longest time frame, followed by the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index (which doesn't include the KLPGA and only looks at the past 52 rather than 104 weeks), and that Hound Dog's stats and the LPGA money list are drawn only from performance in official LPGA events.

The Rolex Rankings:

1. Lorena Ochoa 16.66
2. Annika Sorenstam 8.83
3. Suzann Pettersen 7.59
4. Karrie Webb 7.42
5. Paula Creamer 7.37

The Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index:

1. Lorena Ochoa 68.11
2. Paula Creamer 69.29
3. Suzann Pettersen 69.46
4. Annika Sorenstam 69.61
5. Ji-Yai Shin 70.06

Hound Dog's top 30:

1. Lorena Ochoa
2. Suzann Pettersen
3. Paula Creamer
4. Morgan Pressel
5. Annika Sorenstam

LPGA Official Money List:

1. Annika Sorenstam $415,645.00
2. Paula Creamer $345,524.00
3. Lorena Ochoa $330,550.00
4. Louise Friberg $227,847.00
5. Laura Diaz $193,878.00
