Tiger Woods has fallen significantly in the Official World Golf Ranking in the last few years. He is outside the top 2000 and could disappear from the rankings by the 2026 Masters.
The American golfer's injury had kept him away from the greens in the last few months. This season, he had not played in any tournaments. After his previous outing at The Open Championship 2024, he was settled in 879th place in the ranking, which only fell further as the season progressed.
OWGR guru Nosferartu shared an update on Tiger Woods’ rankings on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
"Tiger Woods dropped last week outside the top 2000 in the world. It looks now increasingly likely that by the 2026 Masters, he will run out of world ranking points completely... #OWGR 😟"
