What all has happened in the world since Tiger Woods was last ranked No. 1 in the world?
The last time Tiger Woods found himself ranked No. 1 in the world of golf was October 24, 2010. The week after that, on Halloween, Woods was replaced as the top golfer in the world by Lee Westwood and while a host of others names have become No. 1 in that time (Rory McIlroy is currently the top golfer in the world), Woods has never been there since.
Not anymore. His win this Monday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational gave him enough world ranking points to land him back at No. 1. So how long has it been? We take a look at events in the world since Tiger was at the top.
