You'd have to be crazy to think that Tiger Woods isn't amid the all-time golfing greats.

At the ripe age of 36, the man has 74 PGA Tour wins under his belt, and 14 major championship victories.

While he has had his struggles since admitting various "indiscretions" in late 2009, Woods's game has almost returned to normalcy in 2012.

In the past four majors, Tiger has notched a T40 (Masters), T21 (U.S. Open), T3 (Open Championship), and a T11 (PGA Championship).

The Georgia bulldog won his first major championship at the Masters in April, playing his best golf on Sunday's back nine before beating Louis Oosthuizen in a sudden death playoff.

In the following four months after his victory in Augusta, Watson was forced to compete in only 20 rounds of professional golf while going through a lengthy adoption process.

Finally becoming an official "Dad" in August, Watson had an impressive showing at the PGA Championship, posting a final round of 68 at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Ocean Course to finish the event tied for 11th.



 

In his four tournaments since, Watson has beaten Woods twice, most notably at the TOUR Championship in late September.

In fact, each golfer has played a total of 19 events in 2012, with Watson holding the edge in major championships, driving distance (315.5 yards to Tiger's 297.4) and greens in regulation (69.9 percent to 67.6 percent).

Now, Tiger does have the edge in prize money by more than $1.5 million, but Watson can change that on next year's major circuit.
