\t\t\t\tInjured Tiger Woods hasn\u2019t played since the 2024 Open \u2013 and if he spends another season on the sidelines, he will face an unwanted career milestone.<\/p>\n
Tiger Woods has hit an all-time low in the Official World Golf Ranking \u2013 and it could be about to get a lot worse. <\/p>\n
Woods entered the OWGR at 730 when he burst onto the scene back in 1994. His 12-shot victory at the 1997 Masters<\/a> took him into the top 10 for the first time, and it was just two more months before he ascended to No.1. <\/p>\n In almost 30 years as a professional, Woods has won 110 times, including 82 PGA Tour titles \u2013 a record he shares with Sam Snead \u2013 and 15 major championships. He also spent 683 weeks at the top of the world rankings \u2013 more than double the number of Greg Norman, who occupies second spot. <\/p>\n No one will ever get close to that. For context, the current No.1, Scottie Scheffler<\/a>, is third on the list and still 546 weeks away from catching Woods. To save you doing the maths, the Texan must stay top of the rankings for another 10-and-a-half years to match Woods\u2019 record. <\/p>\n But since his near fatal car crash in 2021, Woods has struggled for fitness and form, and has only made the weekend on three occasions \u2013 the 2022 and 2024 Masters, and the Genesis Invitational in-between. <\/p>\n At the start of 2025, he ruptured his Achilles<\/a>, and we still don\u2019t know when we\u2019ll next see him in action. <\/p>\n As a result, Woods, who turned 50 in December, has plummeted down the OWGR standings<\/a> to 2,590 \u2013 the lowest ranking of his career.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the other thing.<\/p>\n Woods hasn\u2019t hit a competitive shot since rolling in a putt for a second-round 77 at the 2024 Open Championship<\/a> at Royal Troon, where he missed the cut by 12 shots. (Remember when he used to win by that number?) And with no return date in sight, there\u2019s a distinct possibility he will disappear from the Official World Golf Ranking altogether.<\/p>\n
