Golfer Vijay Singh has dropped to ninth place on the World Golf rankings.

Singh is slowly slipping out of the top 10, which will make it more difficult for him to defend the FedEX Cup this season.

He has slipped from 6th to ninth after finishing 9th at The Players Championship last weekend.

Tiger Woods despite not playing in many events this season remains the world's number one golfer, while Phil Mickelson is in second place.
