TIGER WOODS has fallen to his lowest world ranking ever as he continues to recover from injuries.
The golf legend has experienced a significant decline in rankings over recent years, and the situation may worsen.
Tiger Woods has fallen to his lowest world ranking.
He is currently ranked 2,048th in the latest Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).
Earlier this month, Woods dropped below the 2,000 mark, just before undergoing surgery for the seventh time.
Scans revealed he had a herniated disc, and the surgery involved replacing the damaged disc.
He had already been recovering from a procedure to repair a ruptured left Achilles tendon in March.
His latest surgery may keep him out of action for an additional three months.
It could take even longer for the 49-year-old to regain full fitness, so he is in a race to be ready by next April.
If he does not compete at Augusta, he risks losing his world ranking entirely.
The OWGR system operates on a rolling two-year cycle; if golfers do not participate, their total points drop to zero, resulting in the loss of their ranking.
Since his life-threatening car accident in 2021, Woods has had limited appearances.
He played only three tournaments in 2022 and two in the following year.
In 2024, he made five appearances but did not make the cut at the US PGA, US Open, and other events, which caused him to drop further in the rankings.
Woods has not participated in a Tour event since missing the cut at the 152nd Open in July 2024.
