VIRGINIA WATER, England, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer are poised to take golf's world No. 1 ranking from Tiger Woods.
Woods had been ranked No. 1 for the last 281 weeks -- and 623 weeks overall -- but the reign is about to end. If Kaymer, who moved past Phil Mickelson and into third in the world golf rankings released Monday, finishes no worse than a two-way tie for second at the European Tour's Andalucia Valderrama Masters in Spain, he will be the new No. 1.
