As in 2006, Tiger didn't dominate until midsummer, but when he returned to the tour after his daughter's birth in June, he won four of seven starts to make a mockery of a close player-of-the-year race.Why he should rank lower: He shouldn't. The way Woods dominates events with $1 million first-place checks, it would take a Herculean effort by a peer to knock him from this perch.
