Australian golf ace Adam Scott has now officially replaced 14-time Major winner Tiger Woods from his top spot in the world and has ended the American's 60-week reign on the top of the rankings.
The 2013 Masters champion, who is the first Australian to be world number one since Greg Norman, was already assured of taking top spot with Woods sidelined with a long-standing back problem despite being inactive last week.
According to Sport24, Scott becomes the 17th player to become world number one since Germany's Bernhard Langer was the first in 1986.
