Australia's Adam Scott has surpassed Tiger Woods as the No. 1 player on the official world golf rankings, seizing the top spot despite not playing this past week.
Scott, who spent the past 38 weeks as the second-ranked player, has had chances to overtake Woods through high tournament finishes but has instead done so with both players out of action.
The updated rankings were released on Monday.
Woods last played in March and is out indefinitely following back surgery, making his fall from the top inevitable.
