Undefeated season?

At least someone is still undefeated as of this Sunday. \nHis name is Tiger Woods, and he is on his way to becoming the greatest golfer of all time.\nTiger has now won both tournaments he has entered in the 2008 season, and his start has an uncanny resemblance to the start of the New England Patriot’s season ... except that Tiger won’t choke when it counts.\nLet’s take a look at the two.\nThe Patriots started with Spygate. They cheated and it blew up in their faces. The saga hasn’t ended, with Senator Arlen “In” Specter Gadget questioning NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell about the debacle. \nTiger’s season didn’t begin with a birdie – rather an announcer delivering an off-color joke calling for other plays to “lynch him.”\nAlthough Tiger did not seem too upset by the comments, his play shows that he may be competing with an ulterior motive. Tiger was forced to deal with the distraction over a prolonged period of time thanks to Golfweek magazine putting a giant noose on its front cover.\nThe Patriots won no matter what happened during every game until last Sunday. They won no matter who stepped on the field and no matter what they did. There was no quit.\nTiger, who has now won seven of his last eight tournaments, has already shown two ways he can win this year: with the lead or from behind. He won the first tourney by eight strokes and was never seriously challenged. Last week, he came back by birdieing five of his last seven holes, including a 25-foot putt on the 18th green for the victory to win the Dubai Desert Classic for the second year in a row.\nThe Patriots had Gisele.\nTiger has the superhot nanny.\nAll season, the Patriots had the whole world gunning for them. Every team wanted to be the one to knock them off and everyone always gave them a game. I can’t name one non-Patriot fan who cheered for them.\nTiger has everyone aiming to knock him down each and every week. Last week, Ian Poulter ran his mouth about how he is the only player that has a shot to challenge Tiger. Poulter rambled on about how his best play can beat Tiger. \nThe Patriots had their little “humble pie” joke that kept them motivated each and every week. Although the joke really just showed Bill Belichick has the personality of a mule, the players ran with it and had fun.\nUnlike the Pat’s head coach, Tiger has an amazing sense of humor. When asked this past weekend about how he feels being the No. 1 player in golf with a points total doubling that of Phil Mickleson, Tiger, with a big smile on his face, replied, “I thought Ian Poulter was No. 2.”\nThe similarities are uncanny but a few differences set Tiger apart. \nFirst, he has class. Win or lose, he always gives a good interview with more than just one word answers and praises the winner.\nHe also has a much more relaxing schedule than the Patriots. Like Randy Moss, he only plays when he wants to; and if he needs to take a week off, his multi-millions can allow him to do so.\nBut most importantly, he has two big Nike golf balls that don’t collapse under pressure. He won’t choke in the majors and if he wins all four this year, no one would be surprised. I wouldn’t be surprised if he won every tournament he enters this season.\nAnd if he does, that will be one undefeated season the entire world will actually cheer for.
