Tiger Woods, who has already been world number one for an incredible 555 weeks in his career, is set for an even longer reign following his latest win. Woods captured the AT&T National at Congressional to widen the gap over Phil Mickelson to 2.82 points.
Martin Kaymer’s French Open play-off victory over Lee Westwood lifted him above Rory McIlroy to 19th, while Westwood stands one place above him and Ian Poulter, third in Paris, is up to a career-high 16th.
Padraig Harrington’s missed cut in Paris, his fifth in a row, sees him drop another place to 12th while Graeme McDowell remains in the all-important top 50 at 45th.
