Bored with beating the best golfers in the world tournament after tournament, Tiger Woods has decided to take on Hall of Fame caliber pitcher John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves.
Apparently, the two have a "friendly" wager where Smoltz, an excellent golfer in his own right, gets one point for every win he garners on the pitcher's mound while Woods gets three points for every tournament win.
For those of you scoring at home, Woods' win at the PGA Championship on Sunday was his fifth win of the year (thirteen events played), giving him 15 points on the year, while Smoltz has won 10 games (22 starts).
It's probably safe to say that Woods will win at least once more this year, which means he'll probably get to 18 points. This means for Smoltz to win the bet, he'll have to reel off 8 wins in his remaining ten or so starts.
No word on what is at stake in the friendly wager, but it looks like Smoltz is likely going to have to pony up.
