Tiger Woods Triumph

The Tiger Woods triumph at the Master's Golf Tournament on April 14 2002 was suggested by Ray Anderson as a likely global event. He said," Winning the Master's was a Tiger Woods moment, which I think may have an effect like the OJ Simpson or Academy Awards. The main play occurred between a tee time of 2:22 PM EDT 4/14/02 and a finishing time of approximately 6:30 to 7:00 PM. My belief is that the true moment of the effect of national involvement occurred approximately at 5:30 PM as Vijay Singh erred and Tiger placed a critical iron shot on the green to protect his three stroke lead."

The formal prediction was set for 14:22 to 19:00 EDT, which is 18:22 to 23:00 UTC, using the standard Chisquare analysis. The result does not show a confirmation of the prediction, although there is a striking period early during the play. The Vijay Singh error is marked. The Chisquare is 16646 on 16680 df, for p = 0.572.
