ELI5:Why has Tiger Woods gone down in golfs world ranking so much these past years.What factors have caused this?

The direct answer is pretty simple - he's not winning as much. But there's a number of reasons behind this.

For one, talent is not perfectly reliable. It comes and goes as time passes. Tiger isn't golfing as consistently and as effectively as everyone else, due to a combination of age, injuries - he's lost a fair amount of course time - and possibly some of the distracting screw-ups in his personal life. 

A big factor is that other golfers in general are a lot better. A natural talent could go out there and win in the days before Tiger. When he came along, they realized they had to PRACTICE and had to get the best gear and so forth, so they worked at improving their own talent a lot harder. As a result, the field of competition is much stronger than before.
