Here we are, at the end of 2009 and Tiger Woods is the PGA Tour Player of the Year, again. This marks the 10th time in the 13 years he’s been on the tour full time that he’s taken the honor. To give you an idea of how long he’s been that dominant: every player that won the player of the year award before Tiger turned pro is now playing on the Champions Tour.

The obvious remarkable things about his season:

• He did this coming off of the knee surgery.
• He won seven times on the PGA tour this season.
• He managed to do it without winning a major.

Here are a few not so obvious facts / opinions about his season:

• He still can’t put the ball in the fairway. Perhaps someone at Nike needs to make a driver that is essentially his old Titleist with a Nike Swoosh on the bottom.
• People still find him throwing his clubs around the course as “intense” or “eclectic”. If anyone else did it they’d be chastised.
• He was one of the first to switch wedges to the new grooves. That’s right, he won with the new, lower performance wedges.

What’s your take on Tiger Woods and his 2009 season?
