After Tiger woods' impressive win at Jack Nicklaus' Memorial tournament last week many people are wondering if the Tiger is back to his best. Well the obvious answer is that he still has a long way to go to prove he is the unstoppable force he once was but he has certainly proved that there is life in the 'old' dog yet! The victory meant that the 36 year-old has now matched Nicklaus' record of 73 PGA titles,a good ten years earlier than Jack achieved the feat.
I would say that Tiger has proved that he may well have put his personal problems behind him and now has returned to a mindset where he can focus solely on golf and winning tournaments.I have said before that people who have written Woods off are misguided and I stand by the claim that when in good shape mentally,he is arguably the most driven,ruthless and clinical sportsmen of all time.How can you write of a man 4 years shy of 40 who has racked up Major titles at will over the last 15 or so years?
It is good to see Tiger back to something like his best and it will be interesting how he performs in the next few majors,if he finds the groove I dare anyone to count him out.
