What's at stake for Tiger Woods at Bridgestone Invitational?
We know who's going to win the Bridgestone Invitational.
Or, rather, we know that if Tiger Woods doesn't win the Bridgestone Invitational with a seven-stroke lead going to the final round it will be much bigger news than if he does.
So with that in mind, with new Tiger conjuring up old Tiger and blasting away at one of the best fields of the year, here's a look at a few things he's chasing.
- His 18th World Golf Championships win. The next closest guy has three.
- His fifth win of the year. This would mark the 10th (!) year in which he's won at least five times.
- His 79th career PGA Tour win. That would leave him three behind Sam Snead's record of 82.
- His eighth career win at the Bridgestone Invitational. This would give him two different tournaments where he's won eight times.
- His 12th career win by six or more shots (he's up seven). Since Tiger became a pro nobody else has more than two (via @jrayespngolf).
So as you can see, all eyeballs will be on history rather than Henrik Stenson (who is in second) and whoever can draw a 62 or 63 from the well.
All Woods likely has to do to win is shoot par. He can do that in his sleep at this course.
