However, the biggest jump among the Irish is Graeme McDowell who is up eight places to 87th after his strong showing at the Dubai Desert Classic.
The Northern Irishman finished in a tie for 13th and had been in contention for a Top 3 finish at one point during the weekend.
Winner Sergio Garcia has jumped from 15th to 9th after his first victory on the European Tour in over three years.

The Northern Irishman is targeting a return to action at the WGC Mexico Championship in early March.
