Tiger free-falling in world rankings

Former No 1 Tiger Woods has dropped out of the world top 100 for the first time in his career as he continues his battle against injuries and loss of form.

The 14-time major winner, who first broke into the top 100 when he turned pro in 1996, has fallen to 104th from 96th in the latest rankings issued after the weekend's tournaments.

The 39-year-old American had spent a cumulative record 683 weeks as world No 1 and was last in that position in May, 2014 when he was replaced by Australian Adam Scott.
