Stewart Cink has been paired with Tiger in the final round five times, including the lopsided 2008 Accenture Match Play result.

There may not be a better seat in the house than to watch Tiger Woods in the final round of a tournament that he eventually goes on to win. Of course, the PGA TOUR players who came up short that day may not agree. Still, these players can be considered witnesses to Tiger's victory history (although some didn't actually watch Tiger sink the winning putt since 11 of Tiger's 71 victories have gone to a playoff; see additional chart at bottom).
