Tiger Wins PGA Grand Slam…Again
It’s a shock, I know, but Tiger Woods won the PGA Grand Slam for the 7th time in 8 tries at Poipu Bay in Kauai. This time it was in come-from-behind fashion as he shot a 6-under 66 to win by two shots over Jim Furyk. I’ve watched this tournament since its inception and Tiger seemed totally disengaged for some odd reason. In fact, when he holed the winning putt, he had a look of consternation on his face.
I supposed I’m reading something that’s not even there, but maybe Woods realized this long and emotional season is finally over. He’s had the lowest of lows (his Father passing away) and the highest-of-highs (winning two majors) and everything in between during his season.
I read some interesting stats on Tiger today and it really hit me that he’s played unbelieveable golf. He played in 15 events and won 8; that’s winning 53% of his starts. And he won $9.9 million to boot. And to think he was getting slammed by some of his peers for missing the Tour Championship. Give me a break.
