Tiger Woods avenges his lost to Y.E. Yang in the PGA Championship to help the U.S. team clinch the 2009 President’s Cup. Tiger was asked after the match did he know that his putt was the clincher. He did not know that his putt was the clincher, he was so focused on winning his match. Tiger Woods beat Y.E. Yang 6 and 5, which means that they had 5 holes to go and Tiger was up 6 holes, so Yang had no chance to catch Tiger. Y.E. Yang did not sound as if he wanted any part of Tiger Woods as he was asked about the match prior to playing the round of golf. Yang said that he will show up, but is not particularly interested in playing against Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker beat Y.E. Yang and Ryo Ishikawa on Saturday 4 and 2. In the final two days of the President’s Cup, Tiger handled Yang with no problem. Tiger Woods is only the fifth golfer to go 5-0 during the President’s Cup, he continues to confirm he is the best golfer in the world. Phil Mickelson has had a good comeback with the Tour Championship and he had a undefeated record in the President’s Cup of 4-0-1, which secures his number two ranking. Tiger Woods won 6 times in 2009 and won the FedEx Cup Championship, which brought him a cool $10 million dollar paycheck.

It appears that Tiger Woods has topped $1 billion in career earnings, not just from prize money but also all that loot Nike, Gatorade, Tag Huer and other advertisers pay the golf star, plus income from his golf design business and lofty appearance fees. Tiger Woods is third with 71 All-Time Career PGA Tour Wins. 2009 has been one of the most consistent years on the PGA Tour for Tiger Woods. He won six times, finished second three times, placed in the top 10 in 14 of 17 starts, contended in three of four majors and had his third-lowest scoring average at 68.05. After knee surgery in 2008 no one could have don’t think foreseen such a successful season.

U.S. Team WINS 19 1/2 TO 14 1/2 in the 2009 President’s Cup with a absolute class move by Vijay Singh, who just gave Lucas Glover his 7-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to end their match all square. Glover, who hadn’t earned a point all week, avoided being shut out because of that, though as Singh joked with NBC afterward, “He would have made it anyway.” Vijay Singh went undefeated for the weekend 2-0-3.

For the U.S., it was a dominating performance from its top three players, Tiger Woods, Mickelson and Steve Stricker. In 15 matches between then, they went 13-1-1 in arguably the greatest performance put on by a U.S. team in international team competition. Obviously, the U.S. team believed that they were the better team and performed as the best.

Flourish and Prosper,
