Tiger Woods wins Buick Golf Invitational with ease yesterday . That is his 69th title on PGA tour. And he has been in the World's Top1 golfer for 559 weeks. Congratulations!!
Here are the recaps and outlook of Tiger Woods:
2008 PGA Wins: 4 (Buick Invitational, Accenture Match Play Championship, Arnold Palmer Invitational, U.S. Open)
Top 5s: 6 out of 6 events played
Top 10s: 6
Top 25s: 6
Money rank: 2
Earnings: $5,775,000
2008 Recap: Even by Tiger's lofty standards, 2008 was one hell of a start. Three wins in his first three matches, second place in one major and first in the other, top-five finishes in all six matches he played -- the field better be thanking heaven for Woods' bum knee, or they might have been bystanders in the greatest season of golf ever. It's indicative of Woods' dominance that he received strong support for Player of the Year with only six tourneys under his belt. Overrated? Not a chance.
2009 Outlook: Here's where it gets tricky, though. How will Woods' knee respond once he starts whaling those monster drives again? How will the field respond once Tiger starts his Sunday charges? How will fans respond to Tiger's return? (That one, we can guess -- they'll be all over it.) Love him or hate him -- and with Woods, there's no middle ground -- you're going to be carpet-bombed with Tiger Woods stories this year. Better just accept it now.
