MORE SUNDAY RED

The Tiger Show continues. He has now won all three PGA Tour events he's played in this year, his last five dating back to last year, his last seven tournaments around the world, and nine of the last ten he's played in (he finished second in the other). Are you kidding me?

We have it so good right now, watching Tiger at one of the highest peaks in a career consisting only of peaks. Everyone thought his 1999-2002 run would never be matched again, but now his run since 2005/2006 is arguably even more impressive because he is always in contention. From ESPN:

Jack Nicklaus won seven of 19 tournaments in 1972, seven of 18 in 1973 and five of 16 in 1975. Arnold Palmer won eight of 21 starts in 1962 and seven of 20 in 1963.

Woods won eight of 21 in 1999, nine of 20 in 2000. But the last two years have been unreal: eight of 15 in 2006, seven of 16 in 2007.

And three of three (not counting Dubai) so far in 2008.

His winning 25-foot birdie putt at the 72nd at Bay Hill today gave him the third stretch in PGA Tour history in which someone has won five starts in a row. The other two: Byron Nelson's historic streak of 11 in a row in 1945; and the other (you guessed it) Tiger's streak of seven from 2006-2007.

Earlier in this perfect season, one of the commentators (with his thick British accent) in Dubai was falling over backwards in his praise for Tiger, saying something like "You can't imagine anyone being more perfect, really, can you?" It's hard to argue with that at the moment.

Tiger's back at it next week at Doral, where he's won the last three years. Let the streak live on.
