Woods among group of five who can reach world No. 1 at PGA

The race for the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking will heat up this week at the PGA Championship, where five players could leave Bethpage with the No. 1 spot.

Dustin Johnson remains world No. 1 this week, followed by Justin Rose and defending PGA champ Brooks Koepka. Both Rose and Koepka could ascend to No. 1 with a win, as could world No. 4 Rory McIlroy. The fifth member of the quintet is Tiger Woods, who rose from 13th to sixth after his win at the Masters last month.

Woods remains at No. 6 this week, having not hit a competitive shot since leaving Augusta National.
