Tiger Woods slips from top 100 in world golf rankings for 1st time since 1996

As the new Nike ad campaign might say: "He could get better."

Tiger Woods has fallen out of the top 100 in the World Golf Rankings, coming in at No. 104 in a week that just happens to precede the 79th Masters. 

It's the first time since 1996 - before Woods' first victory on Tour - that he's ranked outside of the top 100.  

Woods hasn't played since withdrawing from the Farmers Insurance Open in early February, and there's still no word whether he'll be at Augusta National Golf Club to vie for his fifth green jacket next weekend.
