WATCH: Best of 2007 Eagles video
Steve Stricker, Justin Rose, Scott Verplank, Corey Pavin, and Tiger Woods topped the list of best shots from the 2007 PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
Fast Fact: Sean O'Hair and Charles Warren shared the honors for most eagles on the PGA TOUR in 2007, recording 15 apiece. In all, 30 players on the PGA TOUR managed to rack up 10 or more eagles for the season. Of that group, Chris Tidland had 12 eagles in just 59 rounds played -- the least amount of rounds played by any of those players with 10 or more eagles.

Woods had 11 eagles total in his 63 rounds played with a frequency of one per every 98.2 holes played. Ernie Els rounded out the top 10 when it came to frequency with one eagle per every 130.5 holes played.

WATCH: Best of 2007 Target practice video
Brandt Snedeker, Hunter Mahan, Joey Sindelar, Ted Purdy and Joe Ogilvie topped the list of the best approaches of 2007.
Fast Fact: Call it target practice, call it throwing darts -- whatever you call it, "it" equals solid ball-striking. No one was better on TOUR in 2007 in terms of ball-striking than Cameron Beckman. The ball-striking category takes into account a player's total driving statistic along with their percentage of greens in regulation. Beckman was sixth in total driving and fourth in greens in regulation. That gave him the No. 1 spot in ball-striking. Beckman and John Senden were the only two players on TOUR to finish in the top 10 in both total driving and greens in regulation, hence their No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively.

WATCH: Best of 2007 Short game video
Tiger Woods, Tim Clark, Luke Donald, Steve Stricker and Boo Weekley topped the list of the best chip-ins of 2007.
Fast Fact: Chris Riley took the top spot in the scrambling category for the 2007 season. While he missed 345 greens in regulation, Riley parlayed that into a par or better on 245 occasions. That's a percentage of 65.33. Comparatively, Rory Sabbatini was second in the category. He missed the green in regulation 546 times but made par or better 349 times, or 63.92 percent of the time.

WATCH: Best of 2007 Flat stick video
Adam Scott, Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson and Tiger woods topped the list of the best putts of 2007.
Fast Fact: You always hear the old adage, "you drive for show and putt for dough." In 2007, Tim Clark garnered the best putting average on TOUR with 1.727 putts per hole. That edged out Jonathan Byrd by a measly hundreth of a point. Tiger Woods was fourth in this category with 1.733 putts per hole.

WATCH: Best of 2007 Aces video
Rich Beem, Bo Van Pelt, Jerry Kelly and Jeff Quinney topped the list of best holes-in-one of 2007.
Fast Fact: While there's plenty of luck involved when it comes to making an ace, players certainly take pride in their ability to make birdies on par 3s. Tim Clark made 51 birdies on par 3s in 2007 to take No. 1 in that category. He had 20 more birdies than the next best on the list -- Sweden's Henrik Stenson. Clark's 51 birdies came on 260 par 3s played, good for an average of 19.62 percent. Stenson's percentage of birdies converted on par 3s was 17.02 percent. He had 31 overall in 182 par-3 holes played.
