The Memorial looks to be the next head-to-head matchup in the story everyone loves: Can Phil Mickelson unseat Tiger Woods as No. 1?

Both have committed to Jack Nicklaus's tournament, and depending on how Mickelson does this week at Crowne Plaza/Colonial, he could go into Columbus as the No. 1 in the world, with Woods as No. 2.

It all depends on Mickelson’s finish this week—and a bunch of calculations that are done by the “great and powerful Oz.”

Here’s the status: Mickelson’s now at 404.17 total points with 42 tournaments, for an average of 9.62.

Woods has 423.87 points with 40 tournaments and an average of 10.60.

If playing in Crowne Plaza/Colonial gives Mickelson 43 tournaments, he will need 456.23 total points to become No.1. If it’s 42, then he only needs 445.62.

We have no idea what the points will be for Crowne Plaza/Colonial.

We have no idea if Mickelson will have 42 or 43 tournaments at the end of the week. So there is no way to anticipate how many points, how many tournaments, or what the score will be by the end of the week. 

We don’t know how many points he or Woods will lose at the end of this week based on points that are devalu...
