May9 Woods rankings
Published: Last updated:
OK, we know Tiger Woods is head and shoulders above everyone else in the game at the moment – but exactly how far ahead?
Well, just consider these two facts as he goes into the Players’ Championship this weekend on the back of his 57th career PGA Tour victory:
In his last 15 stroke-play tournaments, Woods has finished first or second 14 times. That include a couple of second-place finishes in Asia, special events like The Target World Challenge and PGA Grand Slam, a runner-up at The Masters, and other than a tied-22nd at Arnold’ Palmer’s tournament at Bay Hill, Woods has indeed finished no worse than second only once in his last 15 medal-play events.
But even more remarkable is this statistic – Woods’ lead over world number two Jim Furyk in the world rankings is greater than Furyk’s gap on the 1,000-ranked player in the world!
