Tiger Woods’ stay in golf’s top-10 ranking will come to an end after a 14-year run

Tiger Woods will fall out of the top 10 next week, ending an amazing streak of being among the top 10 in the world for 14 consecutive years.

Woods, whose last win was 18 months ago in Australia, will drop to at least No. 11 in the next world ranking published Monday. He started this year at No. 2.

The last time Woods was not in the top 10 was April 6, 1997, when he was at No. 13. He won the Masters the next week for the first of his 14 majors and has stayed in the top 10 since.
