As for Tiger, he won the first FedEx Cup back in 2007. He did it by a huge margin, too, as he won the BMW Championship and then The Tour Championship. He ended up more than 12,000 points ahead of the No. 2 finisher, Steve Stricker. It remains, by far, the largest margin between the top two finishers for the FedEx Cup. Henrik Stenson's 2,007-point margin in 2013 -- ahead of No. 2 Tiger -- is the second-highest.

In 2009, Tiger finished ahead of Phil Mickelson and Stricker.

Though he didn't win it in 2008, Tiger ranked first in points despite playing in only six events. Knee surgery in June forced Tiger out of competition.
