Tiger Woods has dropped out of the top 100 for the first time since 1996, a media report said on Wednesday.
The former world number one player dropped to 104 this week, reported Xinhua.
The 39-year-old has accumulated a record 683 total weeks as the world number one, including 11 different runs at the top.
The 14-time major winner set the record for most consecutive weeks atop the rankings in a span from August 1999 to September 2004 and topped his own record with 281 straight weeks at No. 1 from June 2005 to October 2010.
Woods underwent back surgery in March 2014 and played in only eight tournaments last season and his last run as No. 1 was from March 2013 to May 2014.
