Tiger Woods’s record five-year reign as the world’s top-ranked golfer is over, marking another low point in a torrid 12 months for the 14-time major champion.
Lee Westwood took over top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time, becoming the only European player to top the list since Nick Faldo in 1994. Westwood was ranked as low as 266th seven years ago and is only the fourth player to gain the top spot without winning a major tournament.
