Tiger Woods returns to action in the Australian Open this week down at 58th in the world - just one year after losing the number one spot to Lee Westwood. The event in Sydney brings together Woods and his former caddie Steve Williams, who admit that remarks he made about the American on Friday night could be construe as racist.
New Zealander Williams has since issued an apology, but the argument is bound to control the build-up to this week and next week's Presidents Cup in Melbourne. Further up the order, Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy replace Westwood in second place, while England's Luke Donald retains top spot.
