our days. Despite everything that could go wrong for Tiger, or very right for any of the 155 opponents, oddsmakers and bettors determined that he was good enough to win the tournament once almost every three times it would be played. To make that even more iTiger Woods is a freak. The biggest freak there is. If you want to argue that then you just don't watch enough golf. The guy has won five consecutive tournaments. For any other pro, winning five tournaments all season would be a spectacular season. Woods plays fewer tournaments than most guys, but he has just clinched his eighth player of the year award in 10 years.

Betting on Tiger is often a good investment despite the ridiculously low odds. Unfortunately, the odds just keep getting lower. He was the favorite in all four majors this year (and the vast majority over the last decade). In both the U.S. Open (where he missed the cut) and the British Open (which he won), he was at 5/1 odds. After winning the British Open and the Buick Open, Woods was clearly on a roll. So much of a roll, in fact, that the odds on him were slashed to 9/4.

These low odds sound impressive enough, but you really have to put it into context. There were 156 players in the field, and the tournament was 72 holes over the course of four days.

our days. Despite everything that could go wrong for Tiger, or very right for any of the 155 opponents, oddsmakers and bettors determined that he was good enough to win the tournament once almost every three times it would be played. To make that even more impressive, the next closest player, his supposed biggest rival -- Phil Mickelson, had odds more than four times higher at 10/1. No one is even in the same class as Tiger.

When Tiger is hot like he is now he plays with the field like they are little mice and he has a paw on their tails. Shaun Micheel finished second in the PGA Championship behind Tiger. His -13 score would have been good enough to win each of the last four PGA Championships, but he lost to Tiger by 5 strokes. The most impressive thing about how Tiger is playing, however, is that he is doing all this just months after his father Earl, who was his best friend, passed away. That slowed him down initially, likely causing his poor performance at the U.S. Open, but it has fueled him and raised his drive to a new level since.

In his most recent win, his fifth in a row, Tiger won the Deutsche Bank Championship despite not playing particularly well in the third round. He gave up the lead then, but came back on the final day, took the lead early, and
