The seeding for next week's presitigious HSBC World Matchplay Championship at Wentworth have been finalised, and Tiger Woods of the USA finds himself in unfamiliar territory - second place.

The world number one (pictured) has enjoyed a sensational second-half to the season and is currently in the middle of a run that includes five consecutive victories. Two of these wins were in Major championships - the Open and the USPGA - and he now lies on his own in second place on the list of Major championship winners with twelve.

The projected draw sees Campbell playing England's Simon Kahn in the first round and Woods will take on his compatriot Shawn Micheel, who finished second to Woods at last month's USPGA Championship. Arguably the standout matchup of round one is Scotland's Colin Montgomerie versus his English Ryder Cup colleague David Howell.
