ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — Lee Westwood says he will not play on the U.S. PGA Tour next year, meaning Tiger Woods’ anticipated successor as the top-ranked golfer will be based on the European Tour.
“I’m not taking my card up in the States,” Westwood said Wednesday at the Dunhill Links Championship.
The 37-year-old Englishman, ranked No. 2, could pass Woods as early as Monday if he finishes first or second this weekend at St. Andrews.
If not, it should happen this month because Woods doesn’t plan to play again until November.
