The world outside of golf might think he is a cinch to win all four. Surely, they think he is the best player who ever lived. His victory at Augusta, given his age and his domination, might be the sport's greatest achievement. But he still hasn't done what Jack Nicklaus did in winning three majors by the time he was 23. Or winning 20 overall.
Woods can do that.
But at Congressional Country Club, in Bethesda, Md., he will face a long, tight course for the U.S. Open. The rough and winds will test him at Troon for the British Open. Then there is the PGA at venerable Winged Foot outside New York, where the greens have been called upside-down bath tubs. A year later, he will have to deal with the tall trees of Sahalee as the PGA comes to Seattle. The expectations will be great.
