I remember the same about Tiger, at least that was my impression at the time. Not playing all the tournaments, not playing the most tournaments, but winning a lot of those that he chose to play. Doesn't hurt to win a few majors in between, and that's what defines the career ultimately.
I agree.
He's being very smart as well in choosing his tournaments, in a way exploiting the world ranking algorithm the way Woods did when he was #1 and as many pros do now as well (McIlroy, Day etc.)
Not even saying this derogatively, as I would do this as well. He's reducing the tournaments he plays as playing the minimum number of events needed to lower his divisor is his smartest route, as well as playing in tournaments which allot a lot of points to 1st: Genesis, WGCs, majors, Players etc.
