There aren't very many athletes out there whose level of play rises in the biggest games. I think that gives Tiger a big edge coming down the stretch on Sunday in the majors.

This is extremely bizarre to still say. It's as if you haven't watched a second of any major since 2009. There's enough evidence by now that he's not remotely the same player he used to be in any realm: physical, mental, emotional. When he doesn't completely stink up the joint and miss the cut at a major, he quietly fades away on the weekend. He unravels one way or another every single time. The more pressure the better? That's rich. Keep clinging to that old Tiger nostalgia.
