If we analyze the latest signs, all signs point toward Tiger Woods being ready to go on another of his very famous rolls. The latest victory in the PGA Championship was his third straight win on the PGA Tour, the fourth time he has put together such a winning streak. Two of them were majors, and he has played his last three tournaments in 60 under par. Next up is Firestone, where he already has won four times and is the defending champion.
But perhaps the more obvious aspect of Woods' five-shot victory at Medinah for his 12th major is that he is nothing like the player who survived a scare from Sergio Garcia seven years earlier. The Tiger Woods we all see now has a better understanding of how to get more out of my round and how to handle the emotions better than the one in 1999. We will never forget his record breaking season in 2000 when he won nine times and three majors, then making it four straight majors with a Masters title in 2001.
Tiger Woods has won 12 of his 40 majors since turning pro, a staggering rate of 30 per cent. That puts him very close to Jack Nicklaus' 18 majors, and that marks magnitude in
golf. Woods has already won 51 times, and this ties him up with Billy Casper and ranks him sixth on the all-time PGA Tour chart, all this and he still is one week away from his 10-year anniversary as a professional.
Woods' whiz goes beyond the last two majors with conditions that could not have made for a greater contrast. The fairways of Royal Liverpool were so brown and parched that Woods used two-iron to navigate his way around the bunkers. The greens at Medinah were so lush that Woods knew he would have to make birdies to keep pace, and he did just that.
Earl Woods, Tiger's father, who died in May of cancer, once said watching his son play golf was like seeing Rembrandt painting.
