It’s an interesting pair, this pair of Brits, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood.

They’ve both spent time as the No. 1 player in the world, both have yet to win a major and both have made a ton of money on the PGA and European Tours.

About $28,860,443 for Donald on the PGA Tour and over $19 million on the European Tour?

For Westwood? $13,644,407 on the PGA Tour and over $36 million on the European.

With Westwood soon to turn 40 and Donald about to turn 35, a couple things seem fairly evident about the No. 3 (Donald) and No. 4 (Westwood) players in the World Golf Rankings.

First, time seems to be running out on Westwood (who spent 22 weeks as the No. 1 player in the world).

Not that the Englishman won’t continue to win and make a ton more money. His issues have been in the majors, the yardstick by which professional golfers’ careers are measured. He’s a long driver, a player whose iron game is very good, but one who has never mastered the short game.

Westwood has worked very hard in that aspect, but still has not been able to muster a serious run at a major championship.

The best he’s been able to do is a pair of runner-up finishes, at the 2010 Masters and the 2010 Open Championship.

To paraphrase an old saying, it’s not going to get much better than this.



Second, Donald has just over five years in age over Westwood, but has a better all-around game and seems much more suited to be a major player than Westwood.

Note I said seems to be, because in 38 starts in the four major championship events, the best Donald’s been able to do is a pair of thirds.

 

The time has come for the guy who played at Northwestern to produce and start proving that those 56 weeks he spent as the No. 1 player in the world were legit.

Even though he’s one of the shortest p...
