No putting dweeb was finally exposed.

LOL! You're right, Tiger's a hack and he has finally been exposed.

* Woods has won 70 official PGA Tour events, third all time behind Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus.

* Woods has won 14 majors, second all time, behind Jack Nicklaus.

* Woods is 14-1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead.

* Woods owns the lowest career scoring average and the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history.

* Woods is one of five players (along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so.

* Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000-2001 seasons. This feat became known as the "Tiger Slam".

* Woods set the all-time record for most consecutive cuts made, with 142. The streak started in 1998, he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record (and against stronger fields in terms of depth than those in Nelson's day) and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s.

* Woods has won a record 30% (70 out of 234) of his professional starts on the PGA Tour

And even the greatest hitters in baseball still failed at the plate 60% of the time.
