That said, if Tiger putts well, he will be right up there - if he doesn't - top 25!
Right on! He is at the top of most of the statistical rankings. 1st in Fedex points, 1st in money won, 4th in top ten finishes, 1st in scoring average, 13th in greens in regulation, but only 36th in driving accuracy and 39th in strokes gained putting. So, as people who have watched him have observed, he has trouble with his driver and his putter.
While I have been a fan of his golfing ability, I have not been a fan of his behavior. But I also believe that he has been punished for his misdeeds more than any other person I know of. His cheating on his wife cost him his marriage, his children, his home, millions of dollars in endorsements, and has led to his once unbeatable golf game becoming a lot more mortal. Of course he has no one to blame but himself, but he certainly has more than paid for his crimes.
