Tiger is the best Scrambler on tour.  That is not the stat that most tour pros want to own because it means you in the tall stuff way more than you should be.  That is scary to the rest of the pros on tour.  If tiger could ever figure out how not to spray the ball all over the course with his driver he could dominate the tour…and by dominate the tour I mean win a few more tournaments than he does right now.  Last year Tiger was ranked near the bottom of PGA pros in accuracy.  He hit 48% of his fairways compared to say Scott Verplank who hit 81% of fairways.  Yea, yea…I know what you are thinking “But Tiger hits it so far that he drives it THROUGH the fairway.”  No he doesn’t he just sprays it.  Yea, yea…I know what you are thinking “But Tiger is so strong that Tiger hitting out of the rough is like Fred Funk hitting off the fairway.”  Wrong again genius.  Tiger wants to hit off the fairway as much as Corey Pavin does who is usually 40 yards behind him.  Tiger is one of the greatest putters ever. Period.  Tiger is one of the greatest scramblers ever. Period.  Until he can learn how to hit it down the middle please stop talking about how great of a driver he is, because he is NOT. Period.
