When Tiger was steamrolling opponents, he was at or near the top of the heap in talent, physical strength, work ethic, and mental toughness. Tiger had the aura about him that made all other players crumble under the pressure on Sunday.
Now, Tiger is older, has a creaky knee (4 surgeries), is a mental shell of his former self, has lost his father, and has been publicly humiliated.
On top of all that, we have a new generation of golfers who grew up with a dominant Tiger and are not afraid.
Tiger may win more majors and, if he screws his head on straight, could still challenge Jack's record. But the window of opportunity is closing fast, and winning is no longer the certainty it once was.
And I think golf is much better off for it.
