Tiger Woods did not participate in the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte over the weekend, but he remains No. 1 in the World Golf Rankings. There was little movement within the top 10 in the standings following the tournament -- the top nine did not change -- though Phil Mickelson did move up to 10th after his third-place finish. Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Luke Donald round out the top five behind Woods.
World Golf Rankings 2013: Tiger Woods retains top spot
Tiger sat out last week’s PGA Tour event, but no matter -- he’s still the world’s top-ranked golfer.


Mickelson was in position to win the Wells Fargo Championship, but a pair of bogies late in his final round cost him a shot at victory. PGA Tour rookie Derek Ernst would go on to win the tournament in a playoff and made a huge jump in the rankings as a result -- he moved up nearly 1,000 spots to No. 123.
