1. Lee Westwood - 14.92 (up from #3)
2. Phil Mickelson - 13.04 (remains at #2)
3. Martin Kaymer - 11.39 (up from #6)
4. Steve Stricker - 10.12 (remains at #4)
5. Matt Kuchar - 9.61 (up from #11)
6. Rory McIlroy - 9.44 (up from #7)
7. Jim Furyk - 9.36 (down from #5)
8. Ernie Els - 8.75 (up from #10)
9. Dustin Johnson - 8.69 (up from #24)
10. Graeme McDowell - 8.59 (up from #14)
...
19. Tiger Woods - 6.70 (down from #1)

Thanks for the analysis, that just seems a lot more realistic to what is actually going on right now. Those are the names that are consistently at the top of leaderboards these days. I didn't know how they were calculated though...so right now it's a two year cycle? Hmm, interesting. A lot can happen over the course of a year, or an off-season as we've seen. I like your rankings better.
Another interesting thing about that: Mickelson 40, Stricker 43, Furyk 40, Els 40. Goes to show that guys can still be extremely elite into their 40s. Tiger still has a ton of time.
