For the first time in Sergio Garcia’s carrer, he has the chance to become #1 in the world.  As you all know, the #1 spot has been held by Tiger Woods since June 12, 2005.  With Tiger’s name on “injured reserve” for the past 8 weeks, Garcia has had a chance to climb the ranks.  Gracia certainly could have done more to secure his top world ranking-having only won twice since Woods has been out.  Sergio has also placed 2nd in the PGA championships.  Garcia currently trails Tiger by 1.59 points.

This weekend, both Garcia and Woods are playing the CA Championships and in order for Garcia to dethrone Sir Eldrick Tont Woods, Sergio would have to win and Tiger would have to finish 27th or worse.  I think this is possible.  Tiger is still feeling the effects of his rehab and time off, and that was evident in the Accenture Match Play.

If nothing else, the possibility that a European can take the #1 world ranking will be reason enough for me to watch the final round.

Possible? Keep dreaming? What says you PGA fans?
