Tiger's greatest advantage has never been his prodigious length, shot-making with irons, short game skills or his putting.

Nope, it's always been his...superior mental strength.

And at the age of 43, with all of the personal and physical issues he's been through...I posit that he may even be mentally stronger than ever.

While he doesn't completely intimidate other golfers physically the way he used to, there's a whole bunch of 'young guns,' who have more physical ability than he does now that are finally catching a glimpse...of what it must have been like to go up against him in his prime.

Just the number of the best players in the world that hung around to congratulate him, before he went in to sign his card...speaks volumes of the respect he still commands.

So for those who dislike so much the attention given him, and of whom a lot are probably jealous of his superior mental strength, I suggest that maybe for a while (like 5+ more years? lol)...you find another sport to watch.

Because it's gonna be a long time, and you're going to be really unhappy, before that deserved attention...ever relents.




Another thought just struck me.

He's now the only one who has a chance this year, at the admittedly almost impossible to attain...'Calendar Year Grand Slam.'
