We have earned the right, period.
Tiger Woods - Nigh Unto Deity
It is entirely possible that we may underrate the greatness of Tiger Woods, for all of the accolades that he rightly receives.
On the first day of play at Bay Hill this past weekend, Tiger Woods finished five shots off the lead. On the last day of play, Woods was hoisting the trophy for the third time in a row this season.
And this was in a tournament in which the runner-up was the only man to shoot below par in each of the four rounds.
And this is in a season where he was down three strokes with five holes to play in match play...and won in regulation.
That sounds like the plot of a really bad golf movie or something, but it is actually happening in front of real people with millions of dollars at stake.
For all of his accomplishments, Woods plays like an old Lee Trevino quote: he stares down putts as though he made a $10 bet with only $5 in his pocket.
Worse, Woods is only 32 years old and entering what should be the prime of his career...as though what he has already accomplished (64 PGA Tour victories, 13 Major championships, and $80,000,000 in purses won, and counting...) was just getting him ready to play some consistent golf.
That is a truly terrifying thought.
We may be witness to dominance unlike anything we have heretofore witnessed in sport, especially considering that golf requires the hands of a neurosurgeon and the guts of a burglar.
It sez so right here that Tiger Woods dominates his sport more than any other athlete or team has dominated their sport. I'm taking Woods against the field. If you can think of anyone else who comes close to Woods, or, perish the thought, eclipses him, run him or her up the flagpole and we'll see if anyone salutes.
