In October 2010 he succeeded Tiger Woods as World Number one golfer. He held this position for 22 weeks.
He shares with Luke Donald the distinction, if that is the word, of becoming World Number One without ever winning a Major. Nor has he won any of the World Golf Championships.
Indeed, Westwood has the record for most Major appearances without a win – 88. In 2010 he was runner up in both the US Masters and The Open Championship. Six years later he also came joint second in US Masters.
