Every day it seems more and more likely that Tiger Woods, winner of 15 majors, will find it more difficult to break the tie he holds with Sam Snead for the most wins on the PGA Tour (82). At this moment, the Tiger, who is about to turn 50, may only be thinking about whether he will be able to face a tournament in the future with guarantees of being competitive.
The glory days of what for many has been the best golfer in history seem to be coming to an end. And it’s not that we intend to ‘bury’ him, but it’s not even 10 days since he announced that he had undergone surgery to replace a disc in his back and there is obviously no date for his reappearance.
Meanwhile, his fall in the world rankings continues. As noted by the expert in this classification known as Nosferatu on the social network ‘X’, Woods dropped out of the top 2000 of the OWGR on October 5, when he dropped to 2001 and on Monday he dropped to 2084. If he continues not to compete before the Masters, he would literally arrive without points to this tournament. Right now he has 0.57008. In any case, it can already be said that he has never been so low in the world ranking.
Tiger was number one for 683 weeks
The fact is devastating for someone who was number one for 683 weeks over a period of 13 years, including 281 consecutive weeks from June 2005 to October 2010. After winning the Masters and the Zozo in 2019, he ‘resurrected’ to become sixth in the ranking, but then came new back injuries and, most seriously, his car accident in February 2021.
Since then, he has hardly played and his performance has been very poor. With only five tournaments played in 2024 and making the cut in only one, the Californian finished last year in 1,124th place. His 2025 has been blank and things look worse now as he is on his way to disappearing from the rankings.
