re: My man Tiger is back

How come when <insert player not named Tiger> wins a big tournament, most of the golf fans are quick to point out "Hey, it's just one tournament, don't overreact. The talent in professional golf is too deep for one person to dominate. Nobody will ever repeat what Tiger did from 2000-2002. If this guy wins one or two more majors in his career it will be a great career."
But when Tiger wins a tournament that he has now won 7 times (if he had to pick tournament to bet his life on, it would be this one, not the Masters), those same naysayers exclaim, "Tiger Woods is back. He's going to win between 20-25 majors." Yes, I heard that comment on the golf channel this morning.
Why the double standard?

quote:Because he is Tiger Woods and proven to be the best golfer since Jack and maybe of all time. It was also the manner in which he won the tournament. A tournament with a pretty solid field of players. Not to mention that Tiger being good again and chasing Jack's record is good for golf and the media that covers golf.

Personally, I don't think he will ever be back to being the dominant Tiger of old on a consistent basis, but he will likely be dominant through a few tournaments each year.

What are you talking about, he hasn't won in over two years.

He's the only person playing the game today that you can point to a time in the past when they made the game and everyone in it his bitch.
To say Tiger will do that again is WAAAAAY less of a stretch than to say that anyone else will do it.
