Five days after Michelle Wie turns pro, Tiger Woods shows her the way to true fame, admiration, and status: by winning golf tournaments. The youngster has won but one major competition – the 2003 U.S. Women’s Public Links Championship – to go along with several disappointing finishes in LPGA events and missed cuts on the PGA Tour.
Tiger, who with this win has taken more than half of the WGC events (10 of 19) and four WGC-AmEx championships, seizes career victory number 46 and puts himself in a place where he can record the all-time season high in earnings with a win at the Tour Championship. If he wins, his $11.13M will top Vijay Singh’s $10.9M 2004 season.

With the Presidents Cup just one week away, the 84 Lumber Classic is this week’s stop on the PGA Tour. The field is very strong, including seven members from the United States team and three members from the International team. These ten golfers want to keep their golf games in great shape heading into the Presidents Cup next week. And besides, the course is one of the toughest on tour and has been rated by Golf Digest as one of the best places to play in the United States.
Vijay Singh will be teeing it up just one week after withdrawing from the Deutsche Bank Championship due to a back injury. Singh hurt his back while playing table tennis with his son. He was scheduled to defend his title last week, and the same can be said about the Canadian Open this week. Singh comes into the week ranked second in the world rankings behind Tiger Woods. He is also second on the PGA Tour money list behind Tiger. Singh has four victories on the PGA Tour in 2005 and will be the odds-on favorite this week as well.
