Excerpt Below:
"The most glaring difference, however, is the duration.
Starting the first week of March, Nelson won his first five tournaments in five weeks, and there wasn't another tournament on the schedule until the Montreal Open the second week in June. The only tournament he skipped during the streak was the St. Paul Open a week after the PGA Championship. He missed that week because of a back injury. Small wonder.
The 11th and final victory in Nelson's streak came Aug. 4 at the Canadian Open.
"As you can imagine,'' Nelson wrote, "though I was playing very well, I was also getting very tired.''
Nelson won 18 times that year, a record Woods might never break because he might not even play 18 times in a year.
When he skipped the Tour Championship last year, Woods said he was exhausted playing seven tournaments in nine weeks."
