The German golfer Martin Kaymer used to be a former World No. 1. He has decorated the position for a total of 8 consecutive weeks back in 2011. However, the 37-year-old ranks at 191 on the OWGR standings. 

Since he is not a top runner in the current golf world, the fans thought the hype for him being the world’s top was not worth it. They reacted to the post with utmost disinterest.
