With the PGA Tournament over, the race is tightening up for the position of World Number One. Vijay Singh now sits only a fraction behind Tiger Woods in the World Golf Ranking. While the current ranking system may not be foolproof, Vijay is sneaking up on Mr. Woods in the superior Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index as well.
So the question is this: Not when or if, but who will be the first to take the position of World Number One from Tiger, and will it be this year? To the latter, just based on the number of tournaments he plays compared to the other contenders, I would have to guess that definitely Tiger will lose the #1 ranking some time this year. With the major season over and the pressure off, I expect Vijay to win one, maybe two more events this season. Vijay seems to not be worried too much anymore about the ranking, which could be a dangerous recipe for everyone else on tour.
