There are 2 tracks where this guy is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than the rest.One is Torrey Pines,and the other is Firestone(American Express top 30,or whatever that boring thing is called.)The difference between him n' the rest of the world is incredible on those 2 courses.

There is a reason he avoids Hawaii,and Palm Springs(and waits to start in San Diego.)It's not just by chance.It doesn't tell ya as much as ya think.Dubai will tell ya where he is at(it's not his favorite,but he has won there.)He goes for the 5 or 10 mil from the sheiks(not because he likes the course.)That's why I say wait to see if he dominates there.If he does,then it could be a record breaking year.See ,that Stenson guy is warming up with a 65 in Qatar today(to come 2nd place.)I think he prefers Dubai,and he only had 2 bogeys in 72 holes this week.I think he already beat Tiger in Dubai.So,that's what I'm saying.It's a good test for Tiger.Last year in Dubai(after shooting -15 at San Diego)
1 STENSON Henrik SWE -19
2 ELS Ernie RSA -18
3 FASTH Niclas SWE -17
3 WOODS Tiger USA -17
The year before,Tiger got a gift from ELS,and he won the Dubai Desert classic in a playoff.It's not a gimmee for him.
