Tim Finchem still has some business to settle before he officially departs as PGA Tour comissioner, and he made an effort on Tuesday at East Lake to settle one of golf's most well-worn debates.

During what was billed as his final formal news conference, Finchem was asked about Tiger Woods' impact on the game and on Finchem's own tenure as the head of the Tour. Included in the response, Finchem volunteered his own thoughts on the enduring question: Tiger or Jack?

"He's the only living player to win 79 times, and only player was ever won more," Finchem said, referring to Woods.
