Tiger Woods won the 2006 British Open at Hoylake’s Royal Liverpool without hitting into a single fairway bunker. By using only irons and no woods, he led the field in driving accuracy and missed just eight of fifty-six fairways. The striking fact led playing partner Nick Faldo to ask Tiger for an audacious item in the traditional post-tournament gift swap. Usually players give signed balls and gloves. Instead, Faldo asked Woods if his son Matthew could have Woods’ driver. “Why not?” said Faldo. “Tiger wasn’t using it.”
