From his home at the White House in Washington, D.C., President Barrack Obama runs the most powerful government and country in the world.

 

But, across the Potomac River on the fairways and greens of Congressional Country Club, Tiger Woods reigns supreme on the PGA TOUR in the world of golf.

 

It did not take the Chief Justice and his eight compatriots on the Supreme Court to render a decision in the case of "Tiger Woods vs. The Field" at Congressional Country Club on this beautiful Fourth of July weekend in our nation's capital.

 

It did not take Diana Ross and The Supremes to belt out some more lyrics:

 

There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you.

 

Even the modern version of the "Dreamgirls" or rather the "Dreamguys," Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan, know the truth.

 

Nobody can get to Tiger Woods—at least not yet.

 

They will simply have to wait and try again to upstage the Commander-in-Chief of golf—Tiger Woods.

 

His schedule was seemingly easy: Organize a golf tournament, host a golf tournament, and win a golf tournament.

 

It seems to be that simple for Tiger with 68 victories on the PGA TOUR in 245 career starts—a 27.8 percent success rate.

 

The 33-and-one-half-year-old ultimate golfer has now won 46 of 49 tournaments when leading or co-leading after 54 holes. That is a whopping 94 percent "get-her-done" success rate.

 

The competition was intense, and the drama high as the week unfolded to a new challenge and ultimate climax for Tiger Woods.

 

On Sunday, as Tiger was struggling again on the difficult par-four 11th hole while Hunter Mahan drained another birdie putt on the 18th green to shoot an eight-under 62 and to post a score of 12-under for 72 holes.
