2006 OWGR Review


Most Improved: Robert Karlsson was ranked 195th at this point last year and is now 34th. That is essentially a jump from being a Tier 71 player to a Tier 5 player. I hadn't even heard of him before this year, but he made his mark in 2006. Random note from looking at Tier 5: It would have been quite interesting if Karlsson's given name were Peter.

Honorable Mention: Joe Durant (102 - 32)

Most Consistent: Davis Love III is not only in the same tier he was one year ago. He is also in the exact same place he was in the OWGR at that time. Posting a win once every couple of years will do that for you.

Honorable Mention: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson

Biggest Slide: John Daly only received OWGR points for 4 events in 2006 and slid from 28th to 144th. So much for that Ryder Cup campaign.

Dishonorable Mention: Mark Hensby (35 - 139), Justin Leonard (29 - 105)
