I was going by what announcer Miller said this afternoon. He was obviously wrong, so for here on out I may have to Google anything he states as fact. One thing I will say is that tournament has had an odd group of winners over the years, mixed with the greats. Mark Hayes, Craig Perks, Jodie Mudd, Henrik Stenson, Tim Clark have all pretty much been one hit wonders on the tour. It's still a weird course. The winners of that tournament have finished everywhere from +1 to -24. I'm guessing that some of that difference in scoring has to do with the winds, and the 17th hole.
The present TPC Stadium course never even was open until the 80's. So I believe that nobody has ever won the TPC more than once on this course. In the years that Jack won in the first years, the TPC was played at different sites. That's probably what they were referring to.
He will play in 30 more masters book it-- he will take 1.... Beauty of the lifetime invite.
He will play in close to 100 more majors - he will stumble into 1....
Currently ranked 7th in world. and considered done ?? LOL
17th in money this year having only finished 7 events (doral could made money finishing up only using his putter)...

I'm beginning to think Tiger's one win this year was an abberation. He hasn't been consistent at all with his irons. At the level that he's playing right now, in order for him to have any chance in these majors, he's going to have to hope the top players like Bubba Watson, McElroy, Mickelson, Mahan, Fowler etc. all play bad. And that's not likely to happen.
the pro Tiger crowd here scoffed at me when I originally posted that Arnies tourrnament was the " Perfect Storm " for Tiger. weak field, no competition in last rd, no 4-6 ft putts under pressure, and a course he knows very well with past success.. that post is now becoming more mainstream thinking here
He appears like he's hitting his irons even worse now than he did in that tournament. The problem with playing on these tough courses is you have to be precise with your approach shots or your dead in the water. The way Tiger compresses the ball with the new swing, he can't get his yardages right. I've even seen him hit some errant wedge shots. And that's never good.
