No one won a medal at the end of it, no trophy, no championship, no world record. There were no playbooks involved, no chalkboards, no swimsuits, no balls, no bats, no clubs, no rackets. The man who performed the miracle was only doing what every child does, and at the end of it he seemed utterly unimpressed with himself.

A week later the American women went to Sweden to play a European squad for the Solheim Cup and came back victorious, 16-12. Then in late September the American men, led by Tiger Woods and loosely managed by Captain Jack (Nicklaus), went to Canada for the Presidents Cup and won handily over Gary Player's International team, 19 1/2 to 14 1/2.

You remember him, right? Big smile, flawless putting stroke and an aura so intimidating that other players' mock turtlenecks would get tighter at the very sight of his name on the leader board. Woods may lead the PGA Tour in victories, scoring average and all-important FedEx Cup points, but the story of the year in golf is that something has gone missing in Tiger's game. The most ruthless closer the sport has known has developed a vulnerability when it matters most, and it cost him last week's U.S. Open, just as it did the Masters earlier this year.Tue, 19 Jun 2007 05:10:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/sioncampus/06/12/golf.gatewaytour/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/sioncampus/06/12/golf.gatewaytour/index.htmlUnlike the famous commercial that introduced the best golfer to the world, I am NOT Tiger Woods.Wed, 13 Jun 2007 03:32:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jonah_freedman/05/30/50.intro/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/jonah_freedman/05/30/50.intro/index.htmlFor the fourth straight year, Sports Illustrated set out to rank the 50 top-earning American athletes (taking into account on and off the field income), and it's no surprise to see the familiar names at the top of the list.

When Woods, the son of a black father and Thai mother, arrived on Tour, many of us in black America believed that he was going to be our golfing messiah.

The smile, the daring, the vigor, and only 19 -- men exchanged high-fives, women swooned, and kids, well, kids adored him most of all.

(Reuters) - Tiger Woods has won four PGA Tour events at the Bay Hill Club, but he cannot explain why he has failed to shine over the last three years at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:11:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/golf/02/28/iron.standard0305/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/golf/02/28/iron.standard0305/index.htmlOn Sunday evening the scorecard said that Henrik Stenson was the winner of the Accenture Match Play Championship. Perhaps the real victor, though, was a gentleman who passed away in September at the age of 94. When Nick O'Hern eliminated Tiger Woods in the third round at the Gallery's South course, thus halting Woods's streak of PGA Tour wins at seven, Byron Nelson's hallowed record of 11 straight victories in 1945 acquired even more luster. Now it looks downright unassailable, and only one question remains: Is this the greatest individual sports streak of all time?Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:20:00 ESThttp://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1594277,00.htmlhttp://www.golf.com/golf/tours_news/article/0,28136,1594277,00.htmlWhile it's hard to remember the Masters without Tiger Woods, here, from the pages of our sister publication Sports Illustrated, is a decade-old snapshot of something you'll never forget: the nail-biting quiet before Tiger's first Masters as a professional in 1997, and the aftereffect of the most dominating performance ever seen up to that time in a major championship. (Unattributed lines excerpted from stories by Rick Reilly, John Garrity and Jaime Diaz.)Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:34:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/golf/02/27/gp.backspin0305/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/golf/02/27/gp.backspin0305/index.htmlWhen Jack Vickers canceled the International three weeks ago, he laid the corpse at the feet of Tiger Woods, saying, "If something isn't done, you're not going to have a Tour. Right now, it's a one-man show". But the long-held belief that Woods alone drives ratings has taken a hit so far this year. Woods has played only twice, though at press time full ratings were not yet available for the Accenture Match Play. At the Buick Invitational viewership was down 8.2% on Sunday from the 2006 figure, even though Woods started in contention and rallied on the back nine to win. (It is still the most-watched golf broadcast of the season so far.) Meanwhile, Sunday ratings at Tiger-less Pebble Beach were up 19.0% for Phil Mickelson's cruise to victory, and they were up again the next week (31.1% over '06) when Mickelson lost the Nissan Open in a playoff to Charles Howell. The only other event that was broadcast on network television, the FBR Open, in which Woods didn't play and Mickelson missed the cut, posted ratingTue, 27 Feb 2007 16:43:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gary_van_sickle/02/27/match.play0305/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gary_van_sickle/02/27/match.play0305/index.htmlIt wasn't the outfit. Tiger Woods was wearing a black shirt and hat, with charcoal-gray slacks. It must've been his sinewy arms and buff, V-shaped upper body, and the faster-than-a-speeding-bullet, 341-yard drive he had just launched at the 4th hole of the Gallery at Dove Mountain. Whatever, as Woods strode down the fairway a starstruck fan blurted out, "Wow! He looks like Superman!"Tue, 27 Feb 2007 14:46:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gary_van_sickle/02/26/tiger.streak/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/gary_van_sickle/02/26/tiger.streak/index.htmlIt's too bad Tiger Woods had his PGA Tour winning streak end at seven last week in Arizona. It means we'll miss the debate about whether his streak was comparable to Byron Nelson's famous run of 11 straight victories in 1945.Mon, 26 Feb 2007 16:58:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/john_garrity/02/04/tiger.dubai/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/john_garrity/02/04/tiger.dubai/index.htmlDUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- It was a lovely week at the Emirates Golf Club. Palms rustled, birds chirped, pile-drivers hammered, tractors roared, construction cranes rattled, saws whined, dumpsters clanged, trucks groaned, and traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road top-dressed the ambient cacophony with a lusty baritone hum.

"It was a lot of fun," says the actor, who has appeared in about 50 commercials. "It was Tiger's idea, and I was fine with it. I haven't played football since high school, but it was a good hit." This was not, however, Nowicki's only experience with a sports legend: "A few years ago I appeared in an AFLAC commercial with Yogi Berra. Nice man. He didn't hit me; he just sat there." ... While Nowicki was upgraded to stunt pay (he also received a bruise on the forehead), Tiger made some extra cash that day too. At one point director Steve Chase spotted a vertically mounted light, a four-foot-by-eight-inch unit known as a Kino Flo, about 80 yards away. He bet Woods $10 that Tiger couldn't hit it. Woods dropped a ball, pulled a three-iron and busted the light on the first try. (A clip of the shot and other outtakes are scheduled to appear on buick.com.)

During his so-called off-season Woods finished second at a pair of tournaments in Asia, announced that his wife was pregnant, birthed a course-design business, jetted to Dubai to cut the ribbon on his first project, embarked on a whistle-stop tour across the western U.S. to promote Nike's new driver, went skiing in Colorado and celebrated his 31st birthday.

Two and a half months after Woods introduced his course-design company, Tiger Woods Design, Mickelson is going public with his own architectural firm: Phil Mickelson Design. Mickelson was expected to announce his venture on Tuesday in Palm Desert, Calif., before making his season debut at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Lefty, who co-designed the Lower course at Whisper Rock in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 2001, has already lined up two projects. The first is River Rock, a new development in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains that will include a nine-hole par-3 course designed by his coach, Rick Smith. The second, Diamante Cabo, will be an exclusive development north of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Several other deals are in the works.
