Tiger Woods and his winning "streak"
Published Tuesday, January 30, 2007 by seanlmccarthy | E-mail this post
What planet do sportswriters and sportscasters live on? Tiger Woods has won the last seven PGA Tour events he has entered, but he hasn't played in several other PGA tourneys between his wins -- that's not a streak. That's like saying I had a perfect attendance record in school, because I showed up for class every day that I went to school. Even Tiger acknowledged after his Buick win on Sunday that he hasn't won every event during the so-called streak. It's just silly.
