Fallen golf superstar Tiger Woods slid three places to 36th in the updated world rankings released Monday.
The 14-time major winner was overtaken by Open champion Darren Clarke, Spain’s Miguel Angel Jiminez and Webb Simpson in the global list.
Simpson rose 22 places after claiming his first PGA Tour win Sunday with a three-stroke victory in the Wyndham Championship.
Woods looked set to fall further down the rankings after failing to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs, which he has won two of the last four years. He was scheduled to next tee it up at the Australian Open in November.
England’s Luke Donald continued to hold the No. 1 ranking spot — which Woods made his own for more than a decade — ahead of countryman Lee Westwood and American Steve Stricker.
Europeans Martin Kaymer and Rory McIlroy ranked fourth and fifth, ahead of the sixth-placed Phil Mickelson.
Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day filled seventh and eighth, while US duo Dustin Johnson and Nick Watney completed the top 10.
