Can Tiger win the Vardon Trophy?
A. No. He needs a minimum of 60 rounds to win the award that goes to the pro with the lowest adjusted scoring average. Woods, who has won the Vardon Trophy seven of the last nine years, has only played 20 rounds this year. And while we’re at it, the Byron Nelson Award for low scoring average — which is adjusted based on the average score of the field — is out, too, since the winner needs to have played 50 rounds. Woods has won the Byron Nelson Award eight of the last nine years, including the last three straight.
