Tiger Woods rises in rankings after memorable Masters win
Sports 15 April 2019 Arabia Day Newsdesk 0
A fifth Masters title, a 15th major crown and an improved world ranking of sixth for Tiger Woods.
Woods celebrated a memorable Masters victory at Augusta, where the former world number one triumphed by one stroke on Sunday.
The 43-year-old has been plagued by injuries and off-course issues, which saw him fall to 1,199th in the world.
However, Woods is now sixth — up from 12th — and enjoying his best ranking since 2014 thanks to his drought-ending success in Georgia.

Not since 2008 had Woods won a major but the golfing great snapped his 11-year wait after finishing ahead of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka at 13 under.
“That will be the greatest scene in golf. Forever.”

Johnson is the new number one, replacing Justin Rose — who missed the cut at the Masters — while Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas round out the top five.
