Paul, from 1997 until now, do you know how many times either Tiger or Phil won when they were paired together?  Were there many letdowns?

Been looking for how many wins by each when paired, no luck yet.
Letdowns ??

A letdown would be when neither of them performed up to the hype.

lol
Yes, I just don't know how many, if any.

Lucky

I did find on an ESPN article that says, their overall record in head-to-head match-ups Tiger is 13-13-4,

Phil owns an 8-3-1 record against Tiger since 2007.

It's not the first 2 rounds that matter the most. They are not really going head to head unless playing the final round together, with the title on the line. Personally, I have always thought the media have completely hyped the rivalry and so called dislike between the two. Sure they may not be best buddies, that is only natural when you look at their personalities, however, they both can get along quite well with each when teamed up. It just makes good press to hype this up. Kongo

True..........

I soooo agree!  TW & PM are competitors on course......the media just looks for the smallest things in order to get fans attention!  Remember when Tiger won the Fed Ex Cup last time.....Phil won the tournament, but Tiger won the Cup.  At the awards ceremony Phil commented "I won but he gets the big check".....the media loved it and from then have tried to put a ravine between them.  But they do admire each other and are often seen joking around.....

And oh yes......their personalities are night and day apart!  PM likes to show off...."I'm the greatest thing to golf since....." while Tiger quietly goes about business. Guess that is what happens when you have "always been the bridesmaid"
