Tiger Wood has taught the public one lesson in the first decade of his career; do not try to apply logic to the man. His golfing ability and his capability to pull a win in any situation is beyond the understanding of any mere mortal. In 97, people said it was a long way off before he won a major tournament. He then went on to win the 1997 Masters with the largest margin of victory ever. In 2003, Woods changes his golf swing a bit, much to the shock of many who felt he would lose his edge. He then won both the British Open and the Masters in 2005.
After Tiger Woods lost his father in 2006, his game suffered an he was thought to have a complete washout for the season. He then went on to win the British Open and the PGA Championship. In 2007, his daughter was born, and again people believed that his thoughts on his family would take a toll on his mental abilities and training routine. He squelched comments by winning 5 of the last 6 events of the 2007 season, including the PGA Championship. After placing second in the Masters this past year, Tiger underwent knee surgery. He later showed up for the 2008 US Open at Torrey Pines, having not touched a golf club since his surgery. He then went on to walk the 18 holes and win the US open, all with one leg.
Ever since the British Open in 2007, Tiger Woods was playing with a torn ACL, which combined with his performance at the US Open made it the single most greatest demonstration of ironclad determination and superhuman strength. Even having a torn ACL, Woods took a 9-2 win/loss record over the major events since the 2007 British Open. After all of this, Woods finally committed to getting the ACL surgery he needed, ending his 2008 career. The rumors again started to fly, that his 2009 career will be an insignificant one and he will probably be changed forever.
Has no one learned? The average person, undergoing ACL surgery, would not return with full strength in 2009. Especially given that his knee surgery was on the side that absorbs the brunt of his power. Tiger Woods is not average. He has taken critics and sports commentators by surprise time and time again, demonstrating his ability to silence critics who nay say his chances and going on to take major trophies, in amazing form and strength.
So when it comes to his projected performance in 2009, other golfers should beware. Those who have rose to power in the absence of Woods will have to face being in his shadow again. He will likely play with a much stronger game with a better performance the likes of which the world has yet to see. The past decade of his life is all the evidence one needs that the golfer is a force that will be hard to tame or even face. Expect Tiger's name to grace even more record books by the end of the 2009 season.
