Will Tiger Lose The World No 1 Spot To Westwood?

 I feel badly for Tiger. He actually played pretty well for most of the Ryder Cup. Unfortunately, he weill be remembered for the their disastrous rout in the last round of 4-Play. It was as though the entire European team caught fire as soon as they saw Tiger going down. It was simply impossible to make up that large lead. I hope that Tiger can take away something good from this game anyway

Westwood moves to second; No. 1 coming soon
Golf - MiamiHerald.com:

Lee Westwood became the No. 2 player in the world on Monday, then watched his European team claim victory at the Ryder Cup.

Westwood passed Phil Mickelson to earn the second spot, and it may get even better for the Englishman. According to some reports, Westwood may be in line for the No. 1 spot as soon as next week.

Westwood is expected to be in the field Thursday at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. A big finish at St. Andrews, where he finished second at this year's British Open, could be enough to be No. 1 for the first time in his career. Westwood is also expected to play in the Portugal Masters in two weeks and it's been reported he would be No. 1 in the world with just two top-20 finishes.

So Tiger Woods kept the No. 1 spot for the 278th consecutive week, followed by Westwood and Mickelson. Steve Stricker, who defeated Westwood in Monday's Ryder Cup singles matches, stayed fourth, while FedEx Cup winner Jim Furyk, PGA Champion Martin Kaymer, Paul Casey, Luke Donald, Rory McIlory and Ernie Els rounded out the top 10.

Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell remained in spots 11-13, while Edoardo Molinari and Ian Poulter both moved up one to Nos. 14 and 15, respectively. Hunter Mahan dipped two to 16th.
Retief Goosen and Anthony Kim held on to their spots from last week. Zach Johnson and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen switched places this week with Johnson up to 19th and the South African down to 20th.
Bill Haas collected his second PGA Tour win at the Viking Classic on Sunday and moved up 25 places to No. 64.
