Not that it will be greeted by a massive celebration within the cozy confines of Team Tiger Woods, but for the first time in four months, forward progress can be documented.
Drum roll, please . . . Tiger Woods has improved to No. 262 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Stunning, yes, to think that moving up four spots to 262nd is seen as progress for a guy who was once so cemented into the No. 1 position, but this is Woods’ golf in the summer of 2015. His share of 18th place in the Quicken Loans National was embraced as positive stuff, especially shooting in the 60s three times and closing with a 68, and while he was still a whopping 10 behind the winner, Troy Merritt, it at least allowed Woods to stop this slide that has been weekly for four months.
