As Donald Moves Closer To World No. 1, Attention Turns To Who Will Replace Him In The Next Few Weeks

Ron Green Jr. on what fun the revolving door at the top of the World Golf Ranking has become.

That would make Donald the third No. 1 - Lee Westwood and Martin Kaymer preceded him - since Tiger Woods surrendered the throne he seemingly held since the invention of cell phones. What once was a closed shop, its entryway nailed shut by Woods, is now a revolving door.

Should Donald not win and Westwood hold on to win in Indonesia, the former No. 1 will be No. 1 again.

The only guy who can't figure out how to get to the top is Phil Mickelson, who deserves an Irving J. Thalberg lifetime achievement No. 1 if nothing else.

I'm not big on the rankings, but after all those weeks and years of Tiger at the top - 623 weeks in all - it's different to see players trading it back and forth. It feels special to be No. 1 again.
