Warning: He's Unstoppable

I'm talking, of course, about Tiger Woods. With his win on Sunday at the BMW Championship at Cog Hill, Tiger Woods won his 60th PGA Tour event. More importantely, he now leads the Fedex Cup points race with only 1 event remaining. Tiger has a 4120 points lead over Phil Michelson and a 3133 points lead over Steve Stricker. Keep in mind that the final event has more points to give out than the other playoff tournaments. Instead of the usual 9,000 points to the winner, the winner of the The Tour Championship gets 10,300 points. Given that fact and the fact that Tiger will get a minimum of 395 points if he finishes last in the final event (yeah, Right!), there are only a few players who statistically have a chance to winner the Fedex Cup: Tiger, Steve Stricker, Phil, Rory Sabbatini, & K.J. Choi. for Rory and K.J., some pretty crazy stuff would have to happen for them to win so really, it comes down to a 3 dog race. It's going to be interesting...

Let's turn our attention back to Tiger's domination of the sport of Golf. You can say all you want about the Phil/Tiger rivalry but Tiger is truly amazing. Even though Phil beat Tiger 2 weeks ago, it was the exception and not the norm. Even when Tiger does get beat, he never gets beat badly and he never falls out of the race. Now think back to the last time Tiger choken badly in a tournament. What?? You can think of of a time? Yeah.. Me either. Here's why. Tiger wins at the rate of 28%. Said another way, he has won 60 of the 215 career starts. Even more impressive, he has been in the top 3 of 100 of of his 215 starts (that is a rate of 47%). He reached 60 career wins faster than anyone. The closest to him (of course) was Jack Nicklaus who won 60 when he was 36 years old.






Now, if you are really don't follow golf that much and you feel like you've missed something truly great, don't worry, he'll only get better. Keep in mind that he had just reached 50 wins only 13 short months ago!
