No. 2 Tiger Woods
PGA Tour
You could call '08 the Year That Might Have Been
for Woods, except that his half year was sensational.
Surgery on his left knee ended Woods's season after his victory in
the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, where an array of amazing shots, a
Cinderella
rival in Rocco Mediate and painful microfractures
in the knee
made for an unforgettable major. Woods played seven times on a bum
leg and won at Bay Hill, Dubai, Torrey Pines (twice) and the Match Play.
