If you look back at the history of professional golf, you will find that there has always been a "hot" player. There have been only a few that have sustained momentum over a long period of time. Those are the greatest that the game has produced. Even they had lulls in their careers. Maybe Tseng will come back and get on a winning streak again, but the depth of talent in todays fields makes it very unlikely that we will see a Jack or Ben Hogan or Nancy Lopez again.
IMHO the most outstanding and unlikely to be broken record in all of sports it Byron Nelson winning 11 straight tournaments and 18 in one year. Tiger came the closest a few years ago with 7 but he didn't come close to winning 18. Of course Byron only had to beat three or four guys every week.
