World Top 4...the giant gap

[SubPar]

There is a huge gap in the stats across the top four world ranked players.

When they make the cut:

Tiger Woods wins 29.3%, top-10 67.5%
Phil Mickelson wins 11.2%, top-10 43.9%
Sergio Garcia wins 4.6%, top-10 39.0%
Geoff Ogilvy wins 3.0%, top-10 20.8%

The odds against anyone catching Tiger are huge, as long as he is playing. In a game with so many physical and psychological variables, anyone winning virtually 30% of the time seems unreal.

What are the chances of Phil overcoming these odds to get to #1? Or even to win when Tiger is in the field?

What those stats tell me, as someone who has never been a Phil Mickelson fan, is that he really doesn't get credit for being as good as he is when some of his stats are analyzed, i.e. wins, percentage, etc.

I was thinking thta as well. Winning one out of ten is better than I would have thought before looking it up. That's a pretty good rate. He has a lot of work to do to overtake a guy who wins almost 3 of 10.

I agree Phil does not get enough respect.

It would be interesting to know Phil's winning percentage when Tiger is in the field. How much lower than 11.2% ? ? ?
