Trick question. There is no real Tiger. Sometimes he is a human and only shoots par. Other times he strikes me as spinning his ball while its in mid-flight. And sometimes I think he metaphorically eats humans. I would be equally scared of all three "Tigers" if we met on a golf course. Even if the middle Tiger is made of pixels, he still scares the crap out of me and my thumbs.  If you haven't heard, Tiger beat Stewart Cink so bad in the 36-hole championship round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play that they've officially renamed it all to the TWGE (Tiger Woods Golf Enterprise). He beat Cink 8&7. In match play, that means they didn't even play the last 7 holes. He was up so many holes that they didn't even matter. Now, the interesting thing is that I actually put $10 on Cink to win the whole thing pretty early in the tournament with 10-1 odds. I knew he was screwed facing Tiger in the end, but it was a good run.

The scariest thing imaginable it the world of sports today is the fact that Tiger Woods isn't even done with his prime yet. And he'll be the first to admit it. I used to think all this winning would get annoying. Like listening to the same song for the entire road trip from Miami to Seattle. But it never gets old. And neither does he apparently. Did you know Tiger's only 32? Golf Digest predicts Tiger will be the world's first athlete billionaire in 2010. Let's just take a moment and relish on his career numbers. I suggest holding your jaw closed.

I won't compare his earnings to that of any other golfer like ESPN loves to do, because it's so skewed. The sponsorships and money that gets thrown around is so unreal these days that there is no comparison. It's like trying to predict how many home runs Barry Bonds could hit (while on steroids) with a metal bat versus a wooden bat. We don't need to get into the endorsements. Now Tiger's designing courses.

I'm done drooling. Fascinating, isn't it?
