I don't think it's likely, but it is entirely possible. Nothing saying he can't bag another wgc, or yet another BMW PGA, which carries more owgr points.

Dream on, silly fanboy. Woods is quite a ways behind McIlroy in OWGR points. If you look at points, world #10 Brandt Snedeker is closer to overtaking Woods than Woods is of overtaking McIlroy.

I am totally fine with it. The owgr sometimes gets muddled (rightly so) between the #1 in the last 2 years, and the #1 of current golfers. And I understand that, because that's how our brains work. But I think people should really try harder to separate the two. The system creators realize that Majors are the most important, so they put a premium on those with points

TW Has 14 majors. With that said if he were to be #1 at the end of 2013 and still hasn't won a major since 08 and you asked me "who would you bet on to win a major" my answer would not be TW.
To me being ranked #1 is like being the Heavy Weight Champion. If you get to #1 without winning a major it's like you got the belt because the prior champ retired, rather than beating him.

Duly noted....but that's not what I'm asking you. What I asked you was...If Tiger woods got back to #1 without winning a major in the current 2 year OWGR cycle, would you be okay with that?
I would be, and I'll say again that people need to try harder to separate the OWGR, with active career ranking, or all time ranking, because they are 2 totally different things.

I would not consider him the best player in the world if he does not win a major in '13 regardless of his OWGR, active career, NHRA, NBA, NLCS or PBA ranking,

Spot on. The OWGR recognizes how a golfer has played over the past two years. A victory from ten years ago is nice, but it is not an indicator of how they are playing now.

If he does that again, more power to him and he'll have deserved it. I doubt he'll be able to jump Rory without winning a major or two though.

Is that even mathematically possible with McIlroy's lead being more than 3.5 avg points at the moment?
I would be surprised if it were.
