Tiger Woods' 63 in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Sunday was his lowest final in any event that he has won. His previous lowest final round in a victory was at the 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am where he posted a 64 and moved from eighth place, passing a group of players that included Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, and Chris DiMarco. The victory at Pebble Beach was the last of his six consecutive victory streak and as such I thought it might be interesting to compare the numbers from Woods' current five-event streak to the six-event streak from 1999-2000.

Woods' run of six-straight wins is often regarded as one of the best stretches of golf ever played and duplicating this level of golf would be extremely difficult. In fact his play during his current five-event winning streak does not equal that level of play. It actually surpasses it.

Getting off to stronger starts and entering the final rounds no worse than second place, Woods has been more dominant during his latest streak than he was in the first one. Woods is hitting further (284.9 yards vs. 309.6 yards), scrambling more effectively (64.1 percent vs. 73.6 percent), and putting better (1.759 vs. 1.711) during his current streak than he did in his last stretch of consecutive victories - which of course has led to even better scoring.

During his current streak, Woods has recorded under-par scores on 30 percent of the holes he has played while only posting over-par scores on 7.5 percent of the holes. Those numbers exceed the 25.9 percent and 10.4 percent totals that he posted in those two categories, respectively, during his last streak. There are two areas that Woods is actually lower in his current streak -- driving accuracy and greens in regulation - with greens in regulation being a very small margin. Both are important, but Woods is leading the TOUR in greens in regulation and the 66.1 percent is over nine percent higher than his season average before the streak started.
