Officially, the PGA Tour FedEx Cup playoffs, and therefore the biggest part of the tour's calendar year, ended Sunday when Camilo Villegas won the Tour Championship in a playoff over Sergio Garcia.

Unofficially, the season ended for many fans when Tiger Woods had knee surgery in June, ending his season and sending a lot of casual fans looking for other things to watch.

Woods may win the player of the year award, but he didn't win the FedEx Cup and didn't win the tour's money title. Woods' surgery after a dramatic U.S. Open playoff victory over Rocco Mediate may well be the overriding story of the tour season. But it was just one of several stories that made the 2008 season one of the wildest and most memorable in recent history.
