Tiger Woods targets spot on 2016 Ryder Cup team

Tiger Woods has fallen out of the top 100 players in golf's world rankings for the first time since 1996 - the year he turned professional.

Woods, who hasn't played since he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open in early February, is down to No.104 this week.

The last time he was out of the top 100 was on September 29, 1996, when he was at No.225. The following week, Woods won the Las Vegas Invitational as a 20-year-old for the first of his 79 PGA Tour victories.

It is not clear when Woods will return. He said in February that his scores were not acceptable and he would not play until his game was in tournament shape.

Woods is not required to announce if he is playing the Masters until the tournament starts April 9.

World top 10: 1 Rory McIlroy, 2 Henrik Stenson, 3 Bubba Watson, 4 Jordan Spieth, 5 Jason Day, 6 Adam Scott, 7 Dustin Johnson, 8 Sergio Garcia, 9 Jim Furyk, 10 Jimmy Walker

Selected others: 11. Justin Rose, 13. Martin Kaymer, 28 Jamie Donaldson, 29 Graeme McDowell, 30 Lee Westwood, 31 Ian Poulter, 39 Stephen Gallacher, 45 Shane Lowry, 47 Danny Willett, 48 Paul Casey, 50 Luke Donald, 104 Tiger Woods
