Since turning professional in 1996, this is the first time Tiger Woods has fallen to the lowest position on the World Golf Ranking (OWGR).

According to OWGR’s latest update, Tiger Woods has dropped to position 1307 on the rankings. Worth mentioning, this is the lowest position of the champion of 15 major titles in the past 27 years.

Previously, Woods’ lowest position on OWGR was 1294 in February this year. Also during this time, the American golfer competed at the Genesis Invitational, an event organized by himself, and reached the final position of T45. This is also the only tournament where Woods completed 4 rounds on the PGA Tour in the 2022 – 2023 season.

In April this year, Woods also passed the cut at The Masters, but the American golfer had to withdraw during the third round due to health problems. Woods also had surgery shortly afterward and has not yet returned to play. In total, the 47-year-old golfer has only competed in 5 events over the past 2 years.

Recently, Tiger Woods was seen caddying for his son Charlie at several tournaments. This makes golf fans hope that “Super Tiger” will soon return to play, the closest thing could be the Hero World Challenge or PNC Championship.

In an interview with the US news agency Associated Press, Woods mentioned his health problems: “My ankle is fine, I have absolutely no problems at all, that pain is completely gone. completely disappeared.”

“… But all the surrounding areas, I had problems, and still do. Because when you have surgery on one part, other parts have to work harder to fix it, and this can lead to a number of other problems.”

Tiger Woods currently holds the record for number of weeks at the top of OWGR with 683 weeks, double the number of second place Greg Norman with 331 weeks. Besides, Woods also set a record of 281 consecutive weeks maintaining the world No. 1 position from June 2005 to October 2010.
