  • Jim Furyk Pre-Tournament Interview
    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW April 28, 2021 JIM FURYK Q. With Jim Furyk here at the Insperity Invitational. Can you start by telling us where your game's at right now and how you feel heading into this week? JIM FURYK: It's very so-so at best, I guess. I really haven't had a -- I had a good start to the year on the West Coast on the PGA TOUR. Played pretty well at Pebble, played pretty well at L.A., a so-so finish in Tucson on the Champions Tour, and since then I've struggled. I missed three cuts both by one shot at the Honda and RBC, and then played poorly at Valero. I felt like I was close at RBC actually. I ended up T-66 and just missed the cut. Felt like my game was going in the right direction. Worked pretty hard on my off week, but tough to actually get a real good feel, as you can tell, for what -- it's just a really tough day. Started out nice, but the wind just picked up. Tough day out here on this golf course, so hard to get a really good feel for what your game's doing here. You know, usually like to have some momentum, play well the last month or so coming into an event and that just hasn't been the case. Just trying to grind it out and, you know, find something that gives me some confidence and try to start climbing up that mountain again and build some good rounds again.

  • 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.
