 What you’re seeing today is that “Tiger intimidation factor“ that never actually was. Tiger just often leads and plays such steady boring golf that other people have to try to play beyond their abilities to catch up to him and when they fail to, it looks like he’s intimidating.

That's the EXACT same thing they used to say about Nicklaus.

Tiger and I would like to thank you all for your support. It's been a long and arduous road, and a year ago we weren't sure where we would be at the end of this season. But you all believed in us, and

The way I see it, it's now up to Rose and DJ to decide the FEC. Tiger's winning the tournament and they can't beat him. Only thing they can do is getting closer to him, getting more FEC points and win the cup.

Close one by Tiger. Not that I think it would have mattered.

It's obviously true about Nicklaus.  No one ever lost a tournament to Jack because they were being intimidated by Tiger.

Rose is really out of sorts today. He's hit 27% of the fairways....

Tiger can actually take it all because Rose is spraying all over the course.

DJ might have missed a putt for 9.5 million USD and the FEC on 18th.

Wow, and I beat myself up when I miss a putt that turns out to have been worth a $20 skin.

I'm talking about their "style of play" with the lead. DUH. I just have a hard time believing neither had a "intimidation factor". The guys they play(ed) had to know Jack and Tiger are (were) superior players.

Ladies and gentlemen. Tiger Woods is currently leading the Tour Championship 2018 by 3 shots and projected to win the FedEx Cup.

Oh man, those beautiful checkmarks. 

What was that third shot?

Edit. Nevermind. Rose gets in a three-way T4 with one more birdie and wins the FEC.

Now that,.... is just out there. Sure there was always an outside chance but I don't think anybody would have bet money on that happening at the beginning of the day even if the possibility was short lived.

I know I'm going to get killed here for this, but it's kind of a joke that a guy can win one tournament all year and win the Fed Ex Cup.

Why is it a joke?  This is golf, lots of high finishes count for something.  In golf, if you have a half dozen top-10 finishes in a season, you're pretty good.  It isn't like football deciding that three losses by a combined five points can be turned into a win.

Tiger is trying to make this interesting.

With birdie on 18, Rose wins FEC and 8 million USD. If Tiger blunders, he can win with par.

Great drive by Rose. Maybe too good since he ran through the fairway. Great opportunity to make a birdie now.

I guess you're right. It just seems weird to me.
