How is he the “world’s #1 golfer”? He hasn’t won a major in years and won’t win one this year either.

Woods won four times last year. Granted no majors but at least one WGC tournament. Was still Number 1 on the money list. With the majors being split among four golfer who didn’t do much else.... Voila, he’s still Number 1!

Because he won 5 tournaments last year. The world golf rankings are very complex. The wins become less valuable each week, and eventually roll of the two year rolling time period. A win a year ago is worth 50% of a win today, but it is still worth something. Most of Woods’ five victories are less than a year old, so they’re still relatively valuable.
