How Far Can Tiger Go? II
Hello. Well, obviously my Wednesday post was done before hearing the "Tiger is done for 2008" news. That means my prediction of 3 more 2008 tournaments was high. However, we will definitely be seeing a lot less of Tiger.
Apparently Woods has been having problems since July 2007. All he did since then was win 9 times in 12 starts. Amazing!
Some people will criticize Tiger for playing in the US Open. Can you imagine the criticism if he would've lost? But Brian Hewitt of The Golf Channel probably said it best. Tiger probably would've had this surgery anyway, with or without playing the US Open, so he might as well have gone for it.
So what lies in store for Tiger? The indication is he can be ready in time for the 2009 Masters. Obviously he proved he can win a major after an extended layoff. So to the rest of the players, watch out!
What will happen to the players' mindsets knowing Tiger isn't around to challenge them? As Dave Perkins of the Toronto Star said best, the chokers will probably still choke. Time will tell.
Regards,
Steve
