A long road back to top ranking for Tiger Woods

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) â€” Tiger Woods returned to No. 1 in the world by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, not surprising except if you consider where he was a little more than a year ago.

Woods had not won a PGA Tour in some 2Â½ years. He missed most of the summer and two majors in 2011 because of injuries to his left leg and Achilles tendon. He walked off the course at Doral a year ago because of tightness in the same tendon. It wasn't until June that he felt good enough to hit balls on the range after a round.

Instead of a limp, he now has a swagger.
