At the 2011 Masters Westwood finished T-11, after finishing second in 2010. On 31 October 2010, Westwood became the World number one golfer, ending the reign of Tiger Woods.

David Toms started the 2011 season well with a T-5 finish at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun and a T-3 finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Toms then came close to his first PGA Tour win in five years at The Players Championship where he eventually lost out on the first extra hole to South Korean K. J. Choi. Toms bounced back the week after his playoff loss to win the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial by one shot over Charlie Wi. Toms tied the PGA Tour scoring record for 36 holes after shooting a pair of 8-under-par 62s for a seven shot lead at the halfway stage. Toms' lead disappeared after a third round 74 when he trailed Wi by one stroke entering the final round. However in the final round he shot a 67, which included a holed out eagle from the fairway on the 11th hole for a one stroke victory. This was Toms first win in over five years on the PGA Tour. The win guaranteed Toms of a place in the U.S. Open and moved him up to 28th in the Official World Golf Rankings. Tom’s ranks 12th in Putting Average on the PGA TOUR.
Zach Johnson 2010 season on the PGA Tour got off to a slow start, but his luck turned with a victory at the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, his 7th PGA Tour win.
