Tiger Woods fans, we’ve heard your worries. “When will he win again?” “Will he be able to catch Jack now?” Last year’s Japan win and Target Challenge victory may have assuaged your anguish somewhat, but you know those weren’t your typical full-field PGA Tour event. We know you know they weren’t Majors.
Well, here’s our attempt to make you feel better: a comparison between Tiger’s 1998 and 2000 seasons:
1998 2004 Events 20 19 Wins 1 1 Top-5 8 9 Earnings 4th 4th Driving 67.9% 56.1% GIR 67.6% 66.9% Scoring 69.21 69.04
How’s that? If that doesn’t settle you down just a wee bit, well, I suppose only a Tiger victory in the Masters will calm you down. Here’s to that!
One can only hope that Tiger settles into his new swing, grooves it, and leaves the damn thing alone! It’s like Picasso painting over one of his masterpieces because, after all, it’s not quite right.
