  • Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M
    Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M. Berry Abstract Tiger Woods has an amazing record of winning golf tournaments. He has gained the persona of a player that is a winner, a player that when near the lead or in the lead can do whatever it takes to win. In this paper I investigate whether in fact, he is a winner. A mathematical model is created for the ability of Tiger Woods, and all PGA Tour golfers to play 18 holes of tournament golf. The career of Tiger Woods is replayed using the mathematical model for all golfers and the results are very consistent with Tiger Woods’ actual career. Therefore the mathematical model, which does not give Woods any additional ability to win, would result in essentially the same career. Woods has not needed any additional ability to win–only his pure golfing ability. The ramifications of this result are that there is no evidence that Woods is in fact a “winner” – but instead he is just a much better golfer than everyone else. Introduction Tiger Woods is one of those rare athletes that accomplish feats in their sport that are freakish. In this small group are guys such as Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky, Wilt Chamberlain, Barry Bonds, and Jack Nicklaus. Woods dominates a sport where the population of players are all very good–and very tightly bundled in their ability. To win one tournament, beating 100+ of these players is incredibly difficult. To average one tournament victory a year for 10 years is a Hall of Fame type accomplishment.

Two of golf’s international stars bring additional firepower to an already stellar Shaw Charity Classic field that features fellow World Golf Hall of Fame members Davis Love III and Bernhard Langer. “Both Vijay and Colin have been fierce competitiors for many years on the PGA TOUR and continue to play at a very high level on the PGA TOUR Champions,” said Sean Van Kesteren, executive director, Shaw Charity Classic. “They are two of the best players of all time so it is great to have them back to entertain our passionate fans.” Vijay Singh will be swinging into Calgary on a hot streak. The 55-year-old Fijian captured his first major on the PGA TOUR Champions two weeks ago when he won the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship in a playoff over 2015 Shaw Charity Classic Champion, Jeff Maggert. It was the second individual victory of the year, and of his career, on the over-50 Tour. His first win came at the Toshiba Classic in March. He also captured the 2017 Bass Pro Legends of Golf title with Carlos Franco. "Winning my first tournament (on the PGA TOUR Champions) at the beginning of the year was big, and now I have my first major, so I look forward to winning a lot more now,” said Singh, who finished in eighth spot at last year’s Shaw Charity Classic.

  • Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf
    COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS Clutch Strokes: Performance Under Pressure in Golf Jeffrey Paadre This paper examines 10 years worth of PGA Tour Tournament data in order to examine whether or not clutch performance exists during the final round of a tournament. After controlling scores for differences in course difficulty, the paper finds no evidence of tangible clutch performance. The authors find that the perception of clutch performance is more likely attributable to talent differential between golfers. Assuming a normal distribution of golfer talent, it is possible that Tiger Woods can outshoot his opponents on the final day of a tournament as well as lose his lead to his competitors. Motivation and Literature In professional sports, heroes can be created through the concept of clutch performance. The perception of clutch performance occurs when an athlete raises his or her performance to an extraordinary level during the most important moments of a sporting event. Athletes such as David Ortiz and Adam Vinatieri have been immortalized as legends due to their consistent ability to help their teams win baseball and football games during important games where the outcome was hanging in the balance. Conversely Bill Buckner and Scott Norwood are amongst the unfortunate athletes burdened with reputations as choke artists based on their inability to perform well when their teams needed a high performance the most. One of the challenges that accompanies examining performance under pressure lies within trying to define which performances constitute clutch performance. For example, in 2005 John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, presented David Ortiz with a plaque inscribed “David Ortiz: The Greatest Clutch Hitter in the History of the Boston Red Sox”.
