Distance and accuracy, on tour, aren't the same. The length they play makes distance more important, especially with technology that allows you to play out of the rough these days (groove technology, ball design, etc).
Thats not to say that accuracy isnt' important, it is. But the tour has become much more "bomb and gouge" than it ever has been.
Like Hamas said as well, theres an obvious reason for Tigers numbers in regard to distance and accuracy, in that he hits way more 3 woods and hybrids than he does drivers, thus loosing distance but gaining accuracy.
It also shows in his approach in that he's having to hit more shots from farther away with longer clubs, making him less accurate.
