The Tiger Vs Monty Show

Every week there are new names on golf's leaderboards. In 1999, Tiger Woods and Colin Montogomerie were atop the leaderboards[1] at an astonishing[2] rate. Woods' 1999 was considered one of the best years in the history of golf. His remarkable eight PGA[3] victories included his second major, the PGA championship at Medinah. Woods became the first player with eight PGA Tour wins in one year since Johnny Miller in 1974. His $6,616,585 in earnings also shattered the record[4] set by David Duval in 1998. Colin Montogomerie took his dominance of[5] the European tour to a new level in 1999. The 36-year-old topped[6] the European money list for a record seventh consecutive[7] year with $2.08 million, and won six tournaments, including the World Match Play Championship.
