Tiger Woods has dropped out of the top 100 in the world rankings for the first time in nearly 20 years.
Woods, who hasn't played since he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open on February 6, falls to No 104 this week.
The
last time he was out of the top 100 was as a 20-year-old in September
1996, when he was at No 225, but the following week he won the Las Vegas
Invitational for the first of his 79 PGA Tour victories.
It is not clear when Woods will return to competition after saying in
February that his scores were not acceptable and he would not play until
his game was in tournament shape.
The 39-year-old posted an 82 at the Phoenix Open in January, his worst
round as a professional, and since then the 14-times major winner has
continued a downward slide that resulted in him failing to qualify for
this month's WGC-Cadillac Championship, an event he has won seven times.
He spent a record total of 683 weeks at the top of the rankings until
he lost the No 1 spot to Australia's Adam Scott in May 2014.
Current incumbent Rory McIlroy has been top of the rankings since August.
