Each week, Monday Movers will look back on the previous week in the golf world to see whose stock is rising and who will likely be heading back to the range.
On the Rise Ian Poulter -- The 34-year-old earned his tenth career European Tour title after shooting a 22 under total at the USB Hong Kong Open. Low scores highlighted the week, and it was Poulter's second-round 60 that was the best of all. Poulter moves within one spot of the top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He is one of four English golfers in the top 11.
Tiger Woods -- Tiger stepped off of the golf course and into the media this week as he took big steps in rebuilding his image and getting a fresh start in 2011. His agent said he wants to connect more with his fans, and it began with an essay posted in Newsweek reflecting on the last year along with him making his first appearance on Twitter with the message, "What's up everyone. Finally decided to try out twitter!" Woods also joined ESPN's Mike and Mike on Thursday to discuss the new perspective he has on life.
Noh Seung-yul -- With four tournaments remaining on the Asian Tour, Korean teen Noh Seung-yul has sealed the Order of Merit title, which will be awarded on December 19. He will become the youngest winner in the tour's 15-year history at just 19 years old. The winner of the Malaysian Open in March, Noh will undergo corrective laser eye surgery next month and begin preparing for the 2011 season.
Jim Furyk -- In 19 seasons playing on the PGA Tour, Furyk has compiled 16 Tour wins, including the U.S. Open in 2003, but this season might have been the best of his career. He captured three tournament titles, represented the U.S. in the Ryder Cup, and won the 2010 FedEx Cup. Furyk was rewarded with his first PGA Player of the Year award Monday, edging out Matt Kuchar and Steve Stricker.
