First off, we went to http://www.pgatour.com and http://www.tigerwoods.com to collect our data. We found the average scores of the top 100 PGA tour players. We found that Tiger Woods was actually ranked in second place, one spot behind the scoring average leader, David Duval. However, there are currently somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 players playing the PGA Tour. It’s not too bad to beat 398 of them! As a second to this incredible piece of information, came Woods’ biography and career statistics. Astounding considering his short professional career.
