Heres a few stats to show Tiger does have weaknesses and can be exploited at generous odds.His achilles heel,1st rounds and par 70 & 71's.The following stats are excluding one tourney,The Nec par 70,which is apparently a quirk that he has liking for and has been invincible winning all three attempts.Other than that tourney he was winless last year in the other events played on par 70 and 71 and 3 wins in 39 attempts lifetime on those courses.
In major events other than the Masters which is played on same par 72 course he has faired as follows.
U.S.Open: 6 played on par 70>no wins,one played par 71>1win
British Open: 5 played par 71>no wins,2 played par 72>1 win
PGA Champ: 3 played par 70>no wins,2 played par 72>2 wins
Tour Champ:6 played par 70&71>1 win
totals par 72's>4 played 3 wins
totals par 70&71>20 played 2 wins.
Last years performance by round.
Rds 70 or> 1st 12 2nd 5 3rd 1 4th 7
Rds over par 1st 4 2nd 3 3rd 1 4th 0
