Woods not a worry for Furyk
American Jim Furyk capped probably the second best year of his career by retaining his Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa - but accepted he was a long way from catching Tiger Woods.
World number two Furyk, the 2003 US Open champion, said: "What's important to me is improving my game and getting better, whatever that ranking says.
"Besides, Tiger is a very gifted and driven player and he'll be very difficult to catch in the rankings. It will take me a long time at my current level, which is my best level and his is still better, to catch him."
He added: "I've had a good year but will evaluate where I can improve. My strengths are my driving and putting the ball in play off the tee.
"My weakness is my distance. I'm a very average length player and would like to increase my distance.
"But I don't want to do so at the expense of my other strengths. I think I've had a very well rounded year in terms of my game, and I've putted better than previous years."
