Tiger Woods is currently ranked No. 1,266 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Two Mondays from now, he could vault into the top 250.
Woods is slated to return to competition at next week’s Hero World Challenge, marking his first start since The Open at St. Andrews back in July. And what if Woods were to win the 18-man event at Albany in the Bahamas? Twitter’s OWGR guru, Nosferatu, projects that in that scenario, Woods would move up more than 1,000 spots in the world rankings, just inside the top 250.
Of course, with eight of top 11 players in the world competing and Woods still limited nearly two years removed from a February 2021 car crash, it's unlikely Woods will be lifting the tiger-topped trophy.
