People don't realize it, but Tiger did the game a huge favor by making sure it took a major talent to win a major golf tournament. By "doesn't have the game," I am mainly talking about length. Rocco's length hurt him. It is a flaw(sorry, Kev.)

Length is not a major factor...it helps but multiple major winners who were not long...
Larry Nelson, Hale Irwin, Jose Maria Olazabel, Lee Janzen, Nick Faldo, Curtis Strange, etc, you could go on forever.
Even Zach Johnson who won the Masters last year is not a long hitter. You go 90 holes dead even with Woods you have the game to be a major champion. He isn't though.
