There is no doubt that playing in the final group with Tiger in a major has a negative effect on his competitors. As ESPN reports, everyone except Chris DiMarco and journeyman Bob May has hit worse than Tiger, usually by 3 strokes or so.

Frankly, knowing this information, Tiger’s competitors should now attempt to NOT play in Tiger’s group — even if it means purposely bogeying the last hole in Round 3, just to get into the next to last group.
