Tiger Woods is Human, but still a legend in the making

Why do we call out Tiger having a bad season when he wins 5 tournaments and has a season that many pros would consider a fine career. Because Tiger is one of the greats. We are witnessing a new era for golf. A legend in the making. I’m happy that my generation has witnessed so many greats. There’s MJ in backetball, Larry Bird before him, Gretzky in hockey, Jerry Rice in Football. Pete Sampras and Roger Federer in Tennis. The list goes on and on and then you stop and realize there will always be the next great legend. It’s evolution, efficient markets and competition. Whatever you want to call it, it’s inevitable that someone will come along and break all the records. A few weeks ago we witnessed the unthinkable. Usain Bolt demolishing the world record in the 100 and 200M. He makes it look it easy. There will always be another legend. When Jack Nicklaus was winning major after major, no one could comprehend a better champion. Someone who will win more than 18 majors. No one will ever be able to do it again. And here we are, only 23 years later after Jack won his last Major the 1986 masters, watching the unthinkable, Tiger chasing the record of 18 majors. Tiger is at 14. He almost had 15 at the PGA Championship a few weeks ago. He will eventually surpass Jack, it’s only a matter of time. What is Tiger’s final major wins number? No one knows for sure, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he finishes his career with 20-25 majors. And when Tiger’s career is all said and done, another generation will watch in awe as a new legend chases down Tigers record and ultimately does the unthinkable.
