The Masters - Preview - CLi as of 2012-03-22

Last week, on March 13th, I posted the CLi results for the Masters since the tournament is less than a month away.  Schwartzel, Mickelson, Woods, Rose, and Westwood topped the list last week (on 2012-03-13).  I have rerun the CLi calculation again to include last week's tournaments to see if there are any changes.  Below are the top 5 players in the CLi rankings as of today (2012-03-22):

#	Player	CLi
1	Phil Mickelson	7.40
2	Tiger Woods	8.00
3	Justin Rose	8.80
4	Charl Schwartzel	9.15
5	Bo Van Pelt	9.35

This week Mickelson takes the top slot, with Woods not far behind.  With Schwartzel missing the cut last week at the Transitions Championship, he dropped from 1st to 4th.  Westwood didn't play last week, while Van Pelt did -- and played well, finishing 9th.  So Van Pelt moved into the 5th position, pushing Westwood to 6th.

McIlroy stayed in 7th position, while Stricker moved from 9th to 8th.

As I mentioned last week, watching the changes in these rankings (and the CLi figures) over the next couple of weeks will be fun as we get closer to the tournament.

So you know the settings I used to calculate these rankings, below are the settings for the CLi calculation I used for the calculation:

Number of Past Tournaments Looking Back

5	25%	25%
Number of Days Looking Back

30	5%	5%
Number of Tournaments Looking Back
