Tiger Woods, once a dominant force in the world of golf, is now facing a career milestone that few could have anticipated. The 15-time major champion has slipped out of the top 2,000 in the Official World Golf Ranking, a stark contrast to his previous standings as one of the sport's elite. This decline has sparked discussions regarding his potential absence from the rankings entirely by the time the Masters rolls around next year.

Woods' struggles have been compounded by ongoing injuries and surgeries that have plagued his career in recent years. As he approaches the twilight of his career, the question remains: will he be able to reclaim his place among the top players in the world? Fans and analysts alike are left to ponder what this means for the legacy of one of golf's greatest players.
