World Golf Hall of Fame member Greg Norman recently said that Tiger Woods is intimidated by Rory McIlroy.

At the Tour Championship yesterday, Tiger and Rory were paired in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where Tiger’s four-under par 66 bettered Rory’s 69. Tiger has posted lower scores than Rory in four of the five rounds in which they have been paired during the playoffs.

Rory has all of the shots. He hits his driver very long and straight and makes a ton of putts. The demands of travel, sponsor commitments and the daily grind that a golf professional faces is the challenge that Rory has had to learn to handle.      

If Tiger can find something else on which to focus his efforts, such as reclaiming his No. 1 world ranking, the major victories will come.

Even though Rory has won two FedEx Cup Playoff events this year, Tiger could still win at Eas...
