He can't really be that good...can he?

So if you check out the FedEx leaders board, it shouldn't surprise you that Tiger Woods is on top of the list of a point system that seems strangely tailored to suit his approach to tournaments. But here's the thing. Look closely at the number of FedEx Cup events played. 10. That's it. A dime. Of those ten appearances, Tiger racked up 3 victories and 7 top tens. Vijay Singh (aka the Road Warrior) has played 19. Almost double. Yet Singh sits in second with 2 wins and 5 top tens.

He also leads the money list, and sits on top the of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Call him a gamer. Call him clutch. Call him the best.

Yep. He's that good!

But check this out... according to his web site, Tiger's only currently scheduled for one of the four events that make up the final four that will determine who takes home the fine crystal. To be fair, he's only posted his schedule through the end of August and two of the events are in September. But it's pretty clear that he's not going to tee it up at The Barclay's in New York on August 23. So he'll sit out one of four for the championship of the entire civilized world...

He can't really be that good...can he?
