I turned on the TV today and I listened to 4 people argue about whether or not this is the end of Tiger Woods...will Tiger Woods ever win a Major again? Did Tiger Woods choke? Does this mean that Tiger Woods is no good anymore?
Why is it that people think that one game, one round or one event that goes the wrong way for a team or athlete mean that it's the end of something? Tiger Woods has had bad rounds before...and will have a bad one again. Great teams have bad practices and bad games... This happens all the time in sports. People always make a big deal if someone like Tiger Woods has a bad day. Time after time these athletes and teams respond to their bad days with great days.
I don't think anyone would bet against Tiger Woods in the next major. Tiger Woods is still really good. He's still the best golfer in the world. Your skills erode over time, not in just one day. Tiger is also coming off a major knee injury. Can you reasonably expect him to just trounce the competition right after his surgery?
Tiger will be coming off a year in which he didn't win a major.
Tiger will be motivated.
Tiger Woods will win again and a year from now these same people on TV will be arguing about whether or not Tiger Woods is the most dominant athlete in the last century.
See the forest through the trees.
