Tiger is Amazing

A question for all the benighted, misguided fans of Phil Mickelson:

When has Phil ever won 2 events in a row?

No doubt, Phil has talent. And Phil has soft hands, great touch.

But he is among the streakiest players in history, relatively undisciplined and subject to colossal mental meltdowns that result in flat dumb golf decisions.

In contrast:

Tiger has won 4 of his last 5 tournaments, and, in winning the Fedex event this weekend by 8 strokes, he became the first player in history to win 7 or more events in a season 4 times in his young playing life.

Why do fans and broadcasters mention these two men in the same breath?
