Redding Rankings - November 8, 2010

As mentioned in my last post, the World Golf Rankings are a tough nut to crack. Until recently, Tiger Woods was ranked first (for the past 282 weeks), yet hadn't won a single tournament in 2010.

Think about it like this: what if Michigan's football team was ranked first the last two seasons, didn't win a game for the first two months of this season, and was still ranked #1? You would think the voters and/or computer system were full of it. And you'd be right.

So each Monday I'll post the Redding Rankings. These are based on my observations, some research (sometimes), and the ocean tides. Once it's shown how accurate they are, I'm sure they'll be adopted by the PGA and the R&A as the official rankings.

World Golf Rankings out.
Redding Rankings in.

My rankings will be based on: results in last four majors; current trend including most recent tournament; last two months of play; and injuries.

So without further ado, here they are:

1. Lee Westwood
2. Martin Kaymer
3. Graeme McDowell
4. Francesco Molinari
5. Jim Furyk
6. Dustin Johnson
7. Luke Donald
8. Ross Fisher
9. Matt Kuchar
10. Bubba Watson

Obviously I've left out some huge names. So if you disagree, please leave a comment and tell me why.
