Yeah, maybe next time Tiger should to do a little research.

Seriously, a maxed-out scoreboard would have all 8 teams with 6 points. Trouble is, owing to the first 7 points being single value, at least one team must have an odd score. So now our maxed-out scoreboard would have 7 teams at 6 with 1 at 5, for a total of 47 points.

7 points at single value and 40 at double makes for 27 total points played on the court. The next 3 points will be forced game, place and show, making 30.

If you look at possibilities where the main part of the game ends earlier, you still have the problem that in the playoffs any team that reaches or exceeds 7 will place or show instantly. Therefore only 2 teams can ever exceed 6 points. Which is basically the same limits as the maxed-out case.
