For the first time since 1997, Tiger Woods – once ranked the best golfer in the world – has fallen out of the world’s top 20.
Even though Woods hasn’t played since May 12 because of knee and Achilles tendon injuries, he is expected to return to the game on Thursday, at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, building up for the USPGA Championship in Atlanta, which begins August 11th.
Woods has dropped from eighth to 21st in the rankings. Last week he fired his longtime caddie, New Zealander Steve Williams.
