hhhmmm, trying to think, Phil, Bubba and Els spring to mind, but not sure, will have to think on that.
In my best clickbait voice "The answers may surprise you!"

One will be David Duval
-
wait, no it won't, he would have been before that 99-04 stint

Spot on - Tiger went on his 99-04 run having taken over from Duval.
-
ok so who was good then for a bit, but would be a surprising choice.
Vijay?
Some rando who i remember having an awesome run like Davis Love III?
-
@mariner4life yeah I thought Montgomery or Garcia maybe, but not sure either even made #1, spent alot of time in Tigers shadow.

Vijay is correct. He took over from Tiger in 2004 and then they swapped it between them a few times until Tiger's 2005 run.

Vijay was #1 more than once? that's pretty cool.
-
And the answers are
2010 - the player who took over was Lee Westwood for 17 weeks followed by Kaymer, Westwood, Donald, McIlroy - a golden period for European golf. In fact no American was number 1 again until Woods in 2013.
2014 - the player who took over was Adam Scott for 11 weeks followed by Rory for a year before Spieth first hit number 1.

I watched LIV golf on the telly for the first time just now. Could only stomach it for a couple of minutes. Is it normal to have loud music and announcements while the players are teeing off. It reminded me of the darts.

I think that is part of their schtick
