Phil Mickelson will have the chance to dethrone Tiger Woods as world number one at Augusta this week.
Mickelson will assume top spot for the first time in his career if he can clinch a third Green Jacket and Woods finishes outside the top five at the first major of the season.
The gulf between the duo shrank rapidly following Woods' eight-month injury lay-off following reconstructive knee surgery after last year's US Open.
However, Tiger's victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational two weeks ago - in just his third event back - ensured Mickelson was denied the opportunity to usurp the number one spot at last week's Houston Open.
In the event Lefty produced a poor display in Texas, missing the halfway cut after rounds of 77 and 76.
Sergio Garcia also had the chance to knock Woods off his perch at the WGC-CA Championship last month, but the Spaniard could not produce the result he needed at Doral and is now too far back to catch Woods at Augusta this week.
