Tiger’s ‘unbelievable’ $10m grind

TIGER WOODS pocketed $10m on Sunday and claimed it was a just reward for an “unbelievable grind” at the end of a six-win year.

Woods was crowned 2009 FedEx Cup champion after finishing second behind Phil Mickelson at the Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia, his consistency over the year being rewarded with the massive bonus.

It was the world number one’s second victory in the three-year history of the FedEx Cup, having missed last year’s play-off series at the end of the PGA Tour season due to reconstructive knee surgery.
