Congratulations to Jordan Speith. He is certainly one to the bright stars on the PGA Tour today.

One of the really great things about the tour these days however is that there are four or five players that seem like they could dominate for a given period.

I don't think that we're going to see the kind of domination by one player like we did in Tiger's days. I don't think that Jack had this kind of competition either. Yes, there were other great players in those eras, but I don't recall the big three (or four or five on today's tour) being so closely matched. Jack and Tiger were miles ahead of their second place rivals.

Today, Jordan, Rory, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Bubba, Henrik Stenson and a few others seem to be able to dominate for months at a time. I don't expect to see any of them remain the number one player in the world for years like Tiger did. In that sense, golf may be much more exciting to watch over the next ten years or so.
