Woods owes his return to top spot to his wins in five tournaments, but crucially he came up short once again in the four majors, failing to end a drought that dates back to June 2008 when he won hs 14th major title at the US Open. Instead, four players shared the honours in the tournaments that are the crown jewels of golf.

Adam Scott finally smashed the Aussie jinx at the Masters, Justin Rose became the first Englishman to win the US Open in 43 years at Merion, Phil Mickelson took the British Open at his 20th attempt and Jason Dufner was a popular winner of the PGA Championship.

With his 38th birthday coming up on December 30, Woods can hardly be called a veteran just yet, but he admits that the golfing landscape around him is changing fast.

It's a whole different generation of guys," he said. "I've played probably more head-to-head matches against Ernie (Els) than anybody because we played around the world; and Vijay (Singh) would probably be the second and Phil (Mickelson) would probably be third. But along the way ... I had Goose (Retief Goosen) in there and (David) Duval in there as well for a number of years.

McIlroy in fact started the year as the world number one but, after a change of golfing equipment, his year went rapidly downhill as he became distracted by business affairs and a clear loss of form.

Still there were some signs that he can put all that behind him and he has plenty of career time left to significantly add to his majors haul of two.

Golf's a long career and I'm 24 years old," said McIlroy in Sydney earlier this month after overhauling Scott to win the Australian Open - his first and only tournament victory of the year. I get a little impatient at times and if I actually just took a step back and looked at the bigger picture, it hasn't been too bad a year.

"It's obviously been made a lot better with the win. You know you have to go through the lows and I'm not saying it was a low this year. It's not like I plummeted off the face of the earth. I'm still sixth in the world so it's not too bad. It's not the level that I feel like I can play to but I feel I'm getting back there, so it's very pleasing."

McIlroy's win in Sydney prevented Scott from becoming just the second player to achieve the Down Under "Grand Slam" of Australian PGA, Australian Masters and Australian Open which would have brought down the curtain splendidly on a breakthrough year for him.
