2003: Woods makes it 4 straight in Orlando
Tiger Woods, then a ripe old 27, shot 70-65-66-68 to beat Brad Faxon, Stewart Cink, Kenny Perry, and Kirk Triplett by 11 shots. Woods earned $810,000. Woods was so sick Saturday night he was nearly hospitalized with a stomach virus. However, the hometown favorite at the time rallied Sunday with that 68 to turn a five-shot lead into an 11-stroke romp. Woods became just the third PGA Tour player to ever four-peat in a tournament. “If I wasn’t in contention, I wouldn’t have gone,” Woods said. “There’s no way. Every single shot hurt because my abs were obviously sore from last night and I continued on while I was playing. The night was long, and the day was probably longer.”
