Tiger Woods To Drop Outside World’s Top-100 First Time In Over 18 Years.

Tiger Woods will drop outside the top-100 on the World Rankings for the very first time in more than 18 years and since capturing the first of his 79 PGA Tour wins.
 
Woods is currently ranked 96th in the world and with a World Ranking official predicting the 14-time Major winner will drop to 104th when the rankings are adjusted tomorrow night (Sun).
 
Just last January Woods posted an 82 in the Phoenix Open, and his worst round as a professional, that saw him drop outside the top 50 in the world rankings for the first time in more than three years.
 
Since then Woods has continued a downward slide in the rankings that resulted in the 39-year old failing to qualify for last month’s WGC – Cadillac Championship, and an event he had captured seven times.
 
Tiger Woods wins the first of his 79 PGA Tour wins with victory at the 1996 Las Vegas International and the first time he moved inside the top-100 on the World Rankings.

Woods had been last out of the top 50 on Nov. 27, 2011 but then won the Chevron World Challenge the next week and moved up to No. 21.

 
When Woods turned professional in September 1996 at the Greater Milwaukee Open he was ranked 433rd in the world.
 
He then jumped from World No. 221 to  75 five tournaments later in breaking through for a maiden pro career win at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational and a first of 79 PGA Tour titles.
 
Woods had first moved to World No. 1 in finishing 19th in the 1997 U.S. Open at Congressional in Maryland.
 
The American has spent a record total of 683 weeks as World No. 1 until losing the title to Australia’s Adam Scott on May 18th, 2014.
 
Rory McIlroy, and the current World No. 1, has been atop of the World Rankings since August 3rd, 2014 and for 34 weeks but for an accumulated total of 73 weeks after having reached the pinnacle of the sport on four previous occasions.
