Recent stats from the PGA Tour quantify the problems Tiger Woods is having in trying to re-establish his old winning ways. Speculation and predictions are all part of the picture, and there are huge intangibles in terms of spirit and the will to win, but to put things in perspective, it's often good to resort to facts.
