Sergio Garcia has closed the gap considerably on world number one golfer Tiger Woods in the latest world rankings. With Woods injured, Sergio Garcia has capitalised on the American’s misfortune by not failing to finish outside the top eight in his last seven golf tournaments . As a result, Garcia has reduced the gap from more than 11 points in June to less than 3. In truth, however, Garcia may be disappointed not to have the coveted spot by now, having missed a series of chances for a major breakthrough following his HSBC Champions title victory in Shanghai in November.
Garcia said, ‘Of course I have a chance to overtake Woods, but it's not something that's do-or-die for me. Winning a major has always been a goal for me, so I guess that's probably the only place where I'll set any kind of a goal. Other than that, I'll try to play as well as I can at any tournament . If I became the number one, nothing is going to change for me.’
Padraig Harrington is joint third in the rankings following an exceptional eighteen months, alongside Phil Mickelson. Vijay Singh in fifth is the only golfer close to the others in terms of points.
