Tiger Woods Loses No. 1 Spot

Tiger Woods Loses No. 1 SpotFor the past five years, Tiger Woods has been ranked the No. 1 golfer in the world.

That changed this week, when he was supplanted by England's Lee Westwood. Ever since Tiger came back from his five-month break to go to sex rehab and work on his marriage, he's struggled. He is yet to win a tournament this year.


"As far as the world ranking is concerned, yes, I'm not ranked No. 1 in the world," Woods told the Associated Press this week. "In order to do that you have to win and I didn't win this year."


Woods is now ranked No. 2 in the world behind Westwood and followed by recent PGA champion Martin Kaymer, Phil Mickelson and Steve Stricker. There are three events left for 2010, where Woods can have a chance to get his rank back up or fall down further in the rankings.


"I've got three more events this year, and hopefully, I can end on a good note," he said. "I'm really looking forward to these events and hopefully they will spearhead in to a better 2011."

Tiger's next tournament is the HSBC Champions tournament, but he has a lot of competition making it pretty difficult. Mickelson and Kaymer also have a shot at grabbing that No. 1 spot. We'll see how it all pans out.
