He may not have won a major this season, but it hasn't been a bad comeback year for the world's number one player, has it?
Five tournament victories in the regular season showed us straightaway that Tiger had not lost too much sharpness during that nine month layoff for knee surgery.
The big four prizes eluded him and that will make him all the more hungry next year, but his form over the last few weeks has probably been his most consistent since his most successful period in 2000/2001.
Together with his coach Hank Haney, Woods has addressed the flaws in technique that cost him so dearly at the Open Championship and is now swinging as well as ever - if the putts had dropped, the win column could be in double figures.
Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship by three shots in Atlanta but it was not enough to prevent Woods from winning the FedEx Cup. Mickelson shot a final-round 65 on Sunday to claim victory at East Lake Golf Club on nine under par.
Woods closed with a level par 70 to finish on six under, his second place enough to ensure he ended top of the FedEx Cup standings, earning a nice season-ending bonus of $10 million (BD3,726,830) for his overall success. As I said, not a bad comeback year!
Mickelson quipped that it just did not seem right that runner-up Woods was walking away with such a huge cash prize.
"Let me see if I get this straight," said the left-hander. "I shot 65 and he shot 70 and he gets a cheque for $10 million? I'm just kidding."
Mickelson has endured a tough year off the course and his form suffered as a result. Both his wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer and he took some time out to look after them both. Happily their progress has been good and Mickelson has been able to focus on his golf once more. It certainly hasn't been his most successful year, but this victory will make it taste a lot better.
Meanwhile, in Europe, the Vivendi Trophy was collected by Paul McGinley's GB&I team at a canter against a team from Continental Europe. Colin Montgomerie was a very interested spectator on the sidelines, checking out the form of potential Ryder Cup team members for Celtic Manor next September.
This week the European Tour moves up to Scotland and the very unique Dunhill Links Championship, an event that is played over three of the country's finest layouts - St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns.
There is a fun element to the event with the players being partnered by friends, family and celebrities throughout the week, but with Race to Dubai entering the finishing straight, the dash to the line is hotting up and competition will be tough with everyone keen to be in the final 60 at the Earth Course in a few weeks time.
There is plenty more golf to be played this season - enjoy it!
