Tiger Woods' performance at the 2012 Players Championship was a big bust, but he's not the only golfer whose results were underwhelming at Sawgrass this year.

I'm not a Tiger hater or anything. I actually prefer watching golf when Tiger is playing well. Unfortunately, these days he's just not at the top of his game, and watching him struggle to hit the ball in fairways and onto greens isn't must-see TV.

The only thing Woods is doing well right now is that he's hitting the ball long off the tee. According to PGATour.com, he finished second in the tournament in driving distance—averaging just under 302 yards off the tee.
