Golf's major championships are long gone, the Ryder Cup is over, Tiger Woods is no longer the world's No. 1 player and the offseason (all six weeks of it) is just around the corner.
What an odd time for the season to never be more interesting. Funny how this is working. (Almost as funny as the above photo of Tiger, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer getting a recent Tai Chi lesson with swords in China.) The PGA Tour could hardly be farther out of sight or out of mind, but one of the year's most interesting tournament weeks is playing out at the World Golf Championship-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China.
A little drama for the road.
Although Woods, winless in 2010, losing his No. 1 spot to Westwood after 281 consecutive weeks was a forgone conclusion, this week's unseating, nevertheless, drew a lot of mainstream attention. Now, coming immediately on the heels of the big shakeup, Westwood, Woods, No. 3 Kaymer and No. 4 and defending champ Mickelson are all in Shanghai with a chance to be No. 1 with a victory.
It marks the first time since 1997 that four golfers have entered an event with a chance to claim the No. 1 ranking.
