Rankings slump continues for Woods

Tiger Woods, expected to announce later this week that he is returning to action at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday week, is out of the world’s top 20 for the first time since January 1997.

The man who held the number one spot for more than 11 years in 10 different spells has not played since May 12 because of knee and Achilles tendon injuries.
