Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood go head to head with the World No 1 spot at stake when the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational starts in Akron, Ohio tomorrow.
Defending champion Woods ufffd he has won at Firestone on his last four trips and a US Tour record seven times in all ufffd is under threat from both Westwood and Phil Mickelson at the top of the world rankings. Mickelson could reach the No 1u00a0 spot for the first time with a top-four finish providing Woods is well down the field, but if he wins the tournament Woods' five-year reign will surely end. Westwood, runner-up in the Masters and Open, has to finish 1st or 2nd to have a chance of overtaking the two Americans.
