Lesson On Golf Blog: Tiger Is Done

Will the majority of the media who keep licking Tiger's boots please wake up? Tiger Woods is finished and has been for some time.

We have been on record for two years predicting Tiger will never win another major(and by the way thanks for all of your "friendly" emails Tiger fans)-Now I am not even sure if he will win again anywhere.

Aren't you tired of hearing media pundits saying "Tiger will be great again once he is healthy again"? Do these people forget that last year a supposedly healthy Tiger was still brutal on the golf course? He was barely in the top 200 in putting then. Enough with the excuses!

What we are witnessing is perhaps the swiftest fall from grace and dominance in sports history. Remember how he used to intimidate others just by showing up on the first tee? After a first round seven over par 77 at The PGA Championship do you even think there is a single tour player who is intimidated by Tiger?

He was ranked 30th in the world heading into the PGA. That is about to fall even further. He will not even qualify for the Fed Ex playoffs-which is the equivalent of not making the NHL playoffs.

At age 35, both he and Nicklaus had the same amount of Majors (14). Yet Nicklaus did not have the health issues, off the course distractions, nor was his game in shambles at age 35!

Bottom Line. Woods will never sniff another major. The record of 18 by Jack Nicklaus is forever safe from Tiger.
