GUESS WHO?
THE 2007 PGA TOUR YEAR IN REVIEW
W e
ran out of superlatives a few years ago, so here are the facts: in 2007, he played in—
16 events and won seven, including his 13th major title. He didn’t play in the first
FedExCup playoff event, falling to fourth in the standings. The following week, he finished
second, his third runnerup of the year (the other two were in majors). After that, it was as if
the playoffs were scripted. He won in Chicago with a record 22-under-par and then an eightstroke
victory in Atlanta finished it off. No one could catch him. He averaged 65.75 strokes in the
12 rounds he played during the playoffs. It was like Grant through Richmond. As anticipated, he
won the inaugural FedExCup.
