[edit] Jack Nicklaus 600

600 weeks means nearly 12 years. He had significant competition in his prime. this is evidenced by his only 5 PGA awards. I would presume the no of weeks would be closer to 450-500 maximum. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.176.105.40 (talk) 14:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

From 1962 to 1978, Nicklaus was 1st on the money list 8 times and was in the top four the other 9 times. From 1962 to 1978 he never finished lower than 4th on the money list. He won at least 2 tournaments each year. He won 15 majors in that span as well. 600 weeks sounds like a good estimate. michfan2123 14:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Top 10 tables

I made significant modifications to the world top 10 table. I think it reduced clutter/redundancy and improved the ease of comparisons across the years. I "sacrificed" player country info to streamline the table. Let me know what you think. Jxyama 06:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

What does this mean "The "Order" column indicates the sequence in which the players first reached number 1." I don't understand... -Mikedelsol 07:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

The player with a 1 in the order column was the first to be #1. Tiger Woods was the 9th to make it to #1, so he has a 9 in the column.--Berol 18:12, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current rankings

I'm just guessing here...but I don't think Luke Donald is the number one player in the world rankings right now.

That was vandalism. Supertigerman 00:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Older info

A big thank you to whoever added the breakdown by nationality back to 1996. The official site has recently added archives back to 1986, so it anyone has time to extend the table.... Mowsbury 15:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

It would take a really long time, I am not up for it, lol. michfan2123 14:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007

I can't count or I am just missing something obvious because my numbers are not adding up. michfan2123 (talk) 15:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

You are missing Finland and Austria, plus I think Trinidad + Tobago should lose 1 and Canada gain 1. Catchpole (talk) 15:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ames

I think we should remove Trinidad from the list. He is always recorded as Canadian. Plus we marked him down in Trinidad for 2004 and Canada for 2007. michfan2123 (talk) 21:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Actually, if you look at the 2004 year end rankings, his country is listed as T&T not Can - so I think it should stay as is. Tewapack (talk) 19:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah ok. michfan2123 (talk) 22:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No updates?

hmmm. I think there was a tourney last week... --Npnunda (talk) 03:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
