Let the gagging continue. Of the six tournaments Tiger won during The Streak, three were limited-field events. With fewer than one-half the entrants of normal events, Tiger's chances of winning were greatly enhanced. The Streak was remarkable but bogus on three counts. The Streak ended there, not at Torrey Pines.
Somebody alert the media.
Texas Tiger's biggest rival will be somebody we haven't heard of yet, somebody who's probably about 13 years old right now. A stud comes along about every 10 years or so, just as Nicklaus was 10 years younger than Palmer and Watson was 10 years younger than Nicklaus. In six or eight years, the Tour will be flooded with kids bashing it 300 yards and Woods' edge will be slightly diminished. Of current players, Ernie Els and Sergio Garcia are the obvious picks, but it seems like Woods already has Ernie's number. Sergio, if he improves as rapidly as Tiger did at his age, could possibly fill the role.
