Big surprise. Today, Tiger Woods won his 9th PGA Tour Player of the Year award in the last 11 years. Nobody really compared to him this year, though. 7 wins including the PGA Championship, his 13th career major, and the inaugural winner of the FedEx Cup. Just a typical season on Tour for Tiger. But with 2nd place finishes at both The Masters and U.S. Open, Tiger was ever-s0-close to having one of his best years on Tour and inching closer to Jack Nicklaus' major record of 18.
With over $10 million, he took home the Arnold Palmer Award for leading money winner for the 8th time in his career. And to cap it off, he also won the Byron Nelson Trophy for lowest scoring average at 67.79, the lowest scoring average in Tour history.
For those Tiger-haters out there, get used to it. There's plenty more where that came from.
He finished the '07 season with 71 worldwide career wins and 13 major titles. By the time he's in his mid-30's (which is only a few years away), he'll have passed Jack's major record. My prediction is by the time he's finished playing on the PGA Tour, he'll have close to 30 majors. How can you disagree with greatness?
