Tiger Woods' Official Golf Ranking Hits All-Time Low

Legendary golfer Tiger Woods has unfortunately reached a new low in his career.

Woods, a 15-time major champion, hasn't competed in a PGA Tour event this season for a plethora of reasons. He was initially in the field for the Genesis Invitational in February, but he withdrew due to the death of his mother, Kultida.

Fans were hoping to see Woods at the Masters, a tournament that he has won five times in his incredible career. In mid-March, however, he announced that he'd miss an extended period of time due to a torn Achilles.

"As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured," Woods said in a statement. "This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon. I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support."

It's unclear when we'll see Woods back on the course. Whenever he makes his return though, he'll be ranked well outside the top 1000.

In fact, Woods is currently ranked as the No. 1341 golfer in the world. He dropped a few spots after missing out on the Zurich Classic in Louisiana.

As you'd expect, this is the lowest ranking of Woods' career. His name was always towards the top of the rankings during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Could we see Woods climb up the rankings in the future? Absolutely. For now though, he's on the decline.
