I don't blame him. It's ridiculous to schedule an event so close to
the holidays. Everybody takes the week between Christmas and New
Year's off, so the earliest they should schedule a tournament is the
10th or so.
Tiger apparently doesn't care much about his PGA winning streak,
because this would have been an easy event to win. Only about 30
players, and a lot of them haven't played very well since they won.
Phil is skipping it, and Retief and Ernie didn't win last year, so
Ogilvy is the biggest name in it.

Maybe Chopra vs. Michelle Wie would be a fair bet.
PGA Tour earnings only, of course.
No forget that .... with my luck the bitch would make the cut in the
Sony and Chopra would get killed by a runaway snowmobile, perhaps
driven by Tiger or Phil while vacationing.

The Tiger butt kissers will come back with "events in a row in which he
played". Unless you think the Euro Tour is a tougher tour than the US PGA
Tour, there is no win streak. I figure we'll end up with "win streak in
tournaments where he had the lowest score", which is still intact. In
fact, he has won 10 majors in a row where he had the lowest score!

So does everybody else (did Byron Nelson play in every possible
qualifying tournament during his streak?) - the point is that this
isn't as difficult of a tournament to win as some.

I get a kick out of these idiots who consider it somehow unethical to
keep track of a simple thing like PGA wins. Then they turn on the
football game, and after virtually every play, we hear about how this
is the team with the most wins going into the second half more than
ten points down, or similar arcane data.

I get a kick out of these idiots who insist on a "streak" that the player in

So if he wins all four majors in 2007, but doesn't win all the events
in between, all that "Grand Slam" nonsense will be bogus, because a
tournament's a tournament, right? And it will also prove that
non-majors are harder to win than majors, right?
Tiger gets asked about the streak every time he's interviewed, and
he's interviewed about 50 times a day when he's playing an event.
Which do you think he would rather do, go into a nuanced response
about PGA vs non-PGA vs non-official PGA (he's actually won his last 8
PGA events, but the last two were unofficial), or just say his winning
streak ended at the Wentworth?
And since a tournament is a tournament to you, do you say that his
last two wins (Grand Slam of Golf and Target World Challenge) should
count as the first two wins of a new streak?

He's won every major in which he has had the lowest score. 10 in a row!
Tiger said the streak was over as far as he was concerened when he lost the match
play event in Britian, and has stuck with that view ever since. I, at least, can
respect that. Other than that, it's not all that important.

His win streak was over as far as *everyone* was concerned. His
stroke play win streak ended in Asia. His PGA win streak is still
going. What's so complicated about that? All it proves is that Tiger
is st/polite/classy enough to not publicly admit that he doesn't
try that hard to win unofficial events. I don't remember if the
Dolphins won all their pre-season games when they went 16-0, and I
don't care. They didn't count.
And lest I be misinterpreted, I'm not saying he's not giving 100% on
every shot. I'm saying that if I enter the Boston athon, and I
spend the month before it watching TV and eating Cheetos rather than
training, then I didn't take it seriously, even if during the actual
race I run as hard as I can.

It was important enough for you to call anyone who disagrees with you
a "Tiger butt kisser" in your original reply. Or was that motivated
by your deep respect for Tiger? Why don't you and Pitts get a room;
you seem to think alike.

You think the "discussions" on these forums are "important"? Who is Pitts
anyways, and what does "Pitts" have to do with this? You overexaggerated
troll is absurd. My wife disagrees with me on how hot to make chili;
hardly makes her a Tiger butt kisser. Again, Woods himself says there is
no streak. Just because golf is so boring these days, other than Woods,
and media like The Golf Channel are so inept they can't come up with
anything else but some lame streak, doesn't mean there is some sort of
meaningful "streak". The Bears have an NFC win streak going...think anyone
cares?

Tiger agrees with you. He says his winning streak ended when he failed to
win that first European Tour event he entered but failed to win.
But the winning streak has always been a PGA TOUR winning streak, and it
remains intact until he enters his first PGA TOUR event.
For historical purposes, his six-in-a-row streak that he had several years
ago included an International event that he didn't win. I didn't hear
anyone gripe about it then, including you.
Bottom line: He's won the last six PGA TOUR events he's entered. And until
he enters another one and fails to win it, his streak remains intact.
Them's the facts.
