IRVING, US: Adam Scott will overtake injured Tiger Woods in next week’s rankings to become golf’s world number one for the first time, even though the Australian will not play this week.

Scott, who won his first major title at last year’s Masters, will become the first Aussie to claim the top spot in the rankings since Greg Norman ruled the list for 331 weeks in the 1980s and 1990s.
