Is Tiger Woods Done?
Tiger Woods lost another major today, as he finished 3 strokes off the lead. This comes as no surprise as he hasn't won for about 2 years now and ever since he had that infamous car accident, police questioning, embarrassing media, messy divorce and not having his child full time at his house. Since that time, Woods has been blown away in some events and has come close in others. The other players no longer fear him as they once did. Woods seems to be choking. When he is interviewed, he now has the deer in the headlight look. We hear the same old thing during interviews: "Absolutely," Woods said when asked afterward if he left a few shots on the Augusta National course. "I should have easily shot 3 or 4 under on the back nine. I was right there in the thick of it." http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/masters11/columns/story?columnist=harig_bob&id=6316998 These are the same old cut and copy quotes Tiger Woods has been making for the past two years or so. So, is Tiger Woods through winning tournaments? Probably not, he still is a very good golfer. Will he win another major? Maybe. Will he break Jack Nickalus's record of number of major wins? No way. The players are no longer intimidated by him and that was 3/4 of the reason why he won so many majors- players were scared of him. Now, they are not and so he will have trouble winning any more major tournaments.
Tiger may or may not win another major....but he will never dominate like he did 10 years ago.... he can't putt like he once did....Let the new elephants into the tent....Lots of new talent coming up!
