PGA World Golf Rankings 2010

The first name that comes to mind when I hear ‘PGA’, or just the word ‘Golf’ in general, is Tiger Woods. That being said it only makes sense that he is still ranked #1 in the 2010 PGA World Golf Rankings despite his recent disastrous performances and public humiliation.

Other names that come to mind when discussing the 2010 PGA World Golf Rankings are Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els.

The PGA world golf rankings are based on the average points earned by the golfer in each tournament they play in. Below we have listed the top 10 ranked mens golfers in the PGA and their point averages per tournament.

1. Tiger Woods – 9.42 Pts. Avg
2. Phil Mickelson – 8.99 Pts. Avg
3. Lee Westwood – 8.82 Pts. Avg
4. Steve Stricker – 7.91 Pts. Avg
5. Martin Kaymer – 6.80 Pts. Avg
6. Jim Furyk – 6.78 Pts. Avg
7. Rory McIlry – 5.93 Pts. Avg
8. Paul Casey – 5.70 Pts. Avg
9. Ernie Els – 5.57 Pts. Avg
10. Matt Kuchar – 5.27 Pts. Avg

Although Tiger Woods has less total points than many of the golfers on this list, Woods averages more points per tournament which makes him currently ranked as the #1 golfer in the world. Pretty good for a guy who’s libido is more potent than a forest full of rabbits.

Watch out for Lee Westwood from England to move up this list as he  has already earned 273.95 points in 2010, which more than triples Tiger’s 77.45 points year to date.
