Make your predictions here as to whether or not Tiger Woods will come back into dominance. Was the PGA championship a fluke for Woods? Will he be able to win in the way he has before (winning 1 out of every 4 tournaments). I personally don't think he'll win more than 8 more tournaments in his career. Not that I'm hoping that he loses, I just think the field has gotten too competitive. The way Tiger Woods has played up until this point has been immaculate. An anomaly. I don't think you or I, or anyone else will ever see something like this again. Byron Nelson used to win tournaments in mass like Woods, but back then there wasn't as large of a field not to mention the competition wasn't even close to as good as nowadays. If you look at the pot of players entering into a tournament now, just look at all the names (you may not know half of the players entering). My point is that the very last player that made it into the tournament, the 120th guy, if he plays well for four days, he has a chance of winning. I did think about how this could happen, and I thought this: What if there were certain players that may not have been very good currently in the field. Meaning that tournaments had to invite back certain guys due to their previous records on that specific tournament or maybe something they did a long time ago. You're not going to deny Andy North entry into a tournament no matter how he's playing. The man won two US Opens, if he feels he's playing well, then he's in the field. Obviously just using Andy North as an example, to me he always has a good chance of winning any tourney no matter what the field. I'm just saying during the Tiger Woods era there were a lot of players who have gained previous stature with the PGA, and in a way abused that stature in order to get a spot in the field. First let's be straight, every player in the field is an extremely good golfer who would be capable of owning any of us any day. But that doesn't mean that some guy who missed the cut by one stroke in cue school shouldn't be playing instead. He probably shanked a shot on hole 18 from a poorly maintained area of the course on which his ball happened to be lying on. Not to mention the ungodly-eske good rounds and swings he had previously to that one swing. Who knows what the reason some of these older "tenured" guys choose to play in the field over some of the great up and coming competition. It could be money, or to carry out their legend status. All I know is that what Tiger Woods has achieved up to this point is flat out unbelievable, and you're probably not going to ever see something like this again.
