Sad News for Tiger Woods Fans

While Tiger’s recovery from his car crash has been going fairly smoothly, he is not going to be competing on the Tour anytime soon. It’s a work in progress, but we will have to wait a little longer before we get to see one of our favorite golfers back in action. Unfortunately, Woods has also suffered a dip in his standings to number 403 this week.

However, this is not the first time that the golf star has fallen back this far. Plagued by a series of injuries in 2015, this is when he first fell off the charts. Slowly and steadily, he dropped down, and soon; he was out of the top 100, for the first time since his career took off in 1996.

Nevertheless, this was not the biggest upset for the then 14-time major winner. In 2017, successive injuries caused him to drop outside the top-1000 for the first time in his illustrious career. And if all continues the same, then we might be nearing it again.

A Twitter account recently disclosed their learnings and revealed that Woods has dropped out of the top-400 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He finished 2020 ranked within the top 50 and after almost a year of stagnancy, it is no surprise that he has fallen through. In fact, Woods had once held the highest rank (World No. 1) for a bewildering 683 weeks!

In the time since his accident, Tiger has been hard at work, enduring surgery and a painful rehab process. Though representatives have also said he has made ‘remarkable recovery’. And while there has been speculation about his comeback, there is no official word from the man himself.

The last time Tiger was spotted on the course was at a junior tournament in Florida, where he was supporting his son Charlie. Even then, he was sporting a knee brace, suggesting still ongoing recovery and precaution.

However, if anyone can do it, it’s Woods. He’s done it in the past and he has enough motivation, considering the lot of records that he hasn’t taken over yet. What do you think?

Spanning over half a century, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am has undergone changes in latitude as well as attitude. But the core of the tournament remains not only the exceptional golf by the world’s best players, but also the lore surrounding each yearly winter extravaganza.

Wyndham Clark made history at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Tied for 23rd heading into Saturday’s third round, he ended the day in first place with a 12-under 60, setting the course record for the lowest score ever at Pebble Beach Golf Links.

In 2017, Justin Rose & Justin Timberlake collaborated on one of the most unique moments in AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am history. While JR took a selfie, JT nearly made an ace on the iconic par-3 7th ultimately leading to a tap-in birdie.

One of the most exciting aspects of this season is the arrival of new talent. LIV Golf has successfully attracted top-ranked players from the PGA Tour, thanks to its lucrative contracts and innovative format. The clash of seasoned veterans and ambitious newcomers promises to create intense rivalries. Will the newcomers shake up the established order, or will the veterans defend their turf?

And which team will dominate the standings?

8. The Legacy Question

As LIV Golf grows, questions about its long-term impact on the sport persist. Critics argue that it’s diluting tradition, while supporters believe it’s revolutionizing golf for a new generation. How will this season shape the league’s legacy? Will LIV Golf prove its staying power or face challenges that threaten its future?

With a mix of drama, innovation, and high-stakes competition, the 2025 LIV Golf season is a must-watch for sports enthusiasts. Whether you’re a traditionalist or a fan of the league’s modern twist, there’s no denying that LIV Golf is making waves and keeping the world of golf on edge.

During the 2025 American Express, PGA Tour rookie William Mouw found himself in a deep, 20-foot bunker on the par-5 16th hole—famously known as the “San Andreas Fault” for its ability to frustrate even seasoned pros.

Mouw’s shots went from bad to worse: after escaping the bunker twice, he’d end up back in it. After an epic 13 strokes, he followed up with a triple bogey on the 17th.

Despite a 5-under 67 in the next round, he missed the cut by 9 shots.

The lesson is to remain resilient despite setbacks. The 16th hole demonstrated how quickly things can go sideways, but his ability to shake off the octuple bogey and finish the weekend strong with a 67 shows that recovery and perseverance are key. Golf is unpredictable, but staying positive and focused on the next shot is crucial. Mouw’s resilience in the face of adversity can be an important learning experience as he moves forward in his career.

Golf: always full of surprises!
