Tiger chalked up another monster year on and off the course in 2007. He won his ninth PGA Player of the Year award and a seventh Vardon Trophy (given to the PGA Tour’s leader in scoring average) and was the top money winner for an eighth time. He won the inaugural FedEx Cup, adding a $10 million payout to his bursting retirement account. Off the links he parted ways with American Express after a decade together. He still has big contracts with Nike, Accenture, Buick and Gillette. His latest endorsement: a five-year agreement for his own line of Gatorade drinks. Recently, having enjoyed a time of rest after recovering from injury, Tiger Woods welcomed new son, Charlie Axel Rose into the world. Woods says that the injury was a blessing in disguise and he has been able to enjoy more family time with his wife and growing brood. Who cannot admire a man who has  COURAGE TO LOVE his family and excel at the office on the green and being an American Ambassador that all things are possible. Rock on Tiger!
