Tiger Woods needs competition - badly. Muhammed Ali was great not just because he was the best boxer of all time, but he fought Joe Frazier in three unforgettable bouts. Jack Nicklaus was hounded by Trevino, Floyd, Player, Hale Irwin, almost always in tough matches. Now, Tiger Woods simply outdistances his opponents, makes the impossible shots, and in the background Ken Venturi says 'he should just take his par and go quietly'. Yeah Ken, well right now Tiger's taking home about 50 million per year and the other guys are 'taking their pars and going quietly'.
I really hope that someone can take up the challenge with Tiger Woods, which will more firmly place him in golf history. But I don't know of anyone else who can hit a 249 yd 2 iron to an uphill green, over water and sand, and stop the ball within 4 feet of the hole. Not Nicklaus, not Trevino, not Jones, not Byron Nelson, not Floyd, not Irwin, not Duvall, not Garcia, not Els, NOT NOBODY.
What an amazing golfer!!
