Tiger Woods could take another significant step in the world rankings this week at Torrey Pines.
If he were to capture an eighth career title at the Farmers Insurance Open, Woods, now ranked 13th, could move as high as No. 6 in the world, according to Golf Channel’s OWGR guru Alan Robison. Woods is making his first PGA Tour start since his victory last September at the Tour Championship.
With a runner-up finish, Woods could rise as high as No. 8, while a third-place showing – and perhaps even a 10th-place finish – could put him back in the top 10 in the world for the first time since August 2014.
